I will provide an example of a completed mission statement for a specific PreK-12 school district or higher education program as well as potential solutions for methods to take to complete the program.
Establish the strategic planning committee members and their roles.
It's vital that those on the committee possess vested interests in the outcome of the program and are involved throughout the entire process.

Principals are the most important factor in the preK-12 school district and they have to ensure that all stakeholders are represented and cognizant of their plan as they will be spearheading the program and its initiatives. Several proven techniques are available to ensure that all stakeholders are present including first holding an informal gathering such as a raffle where kids of the parents that you want to be at the meeting have rides and other games to play that will cause the parents to gain interest in coming to the meetings. The business owners within the community can be involved by offering prizes from their business for the raffle, which completes the process of ensuring that two of the most important stakeholders are at the preliminary meeting.
Teachers, administrators, and other vital school personnel can be required to attend the event. You ...
