Phases

The initial Engage Phase of the strategic planning process was designed to authentically engage stakeholders – including students, parents, teachers, administrators, staff, and community leaders in productive dialogue related to Harvey School District’s successes, values, and priorities for the future.

The second phase, the Focus Phase, involved reviews of the stakeholder feedback, the District’s Mission, Vision and Belief statements, as well as archival data to create a focused and actionable strategic plan draft with goals and objectives aligned to the priorities of the community.

The third phase, the Execute Phase, is the time when the district takes full ownership of the goals and completes initiation of this phase.

The fourth and fifth phases, Re-focus and Re-Execute, were added in the Fall of 2023 when an identified need was established. This involved reframing the operational plan so that all stakeholders are able to actively utilize the plan to work toward improvement.
