2023-2026 Garfield Re-2 Strategic Plan
As we enter the second full year of our Strategic Plan for 2023–2026, I am pleased to share the updated version of this important roadmap. Over the past year, we have gathered data, measured outcomes, and assessed progress toward our goals. This update incorporates these findings and outlines specific actions that both the district and individual schools are undertaking to meet our goals.
This plan, built with the input of our diverse community—staff, students, parents, guardians, community members, and the Garfield Re-2 Board of Education—continues to provide direction for our district. Based on last year’s data, we have strengthened our focus areas and refined our strategies to better serve every member of our learning community. Together, we will ensure that our efforts encourage, nurture, and challenge every member of our learning community as we move our district forward.
This plan remains both ambitious and bold, requiring the ongoing commitment and innovative thinking of our staff, students, families, and community members. Together, through collaboration and shared purpose, we will continue to prepare our students for success ensuring they are ready for college, careers, and life.
I am excited to reaffirm my commitment to the outcomes set forth in this Strategic Plan, and I look forward to another year of progress and shared success for all stakeholders of the Garfield Re-2 School District.
Respectfully,
Heather Grumley
