Sidney School District Unveils Strategic Plan

The Sidney School District recently unveiled the District’s Strategic Plan.

The Strategic Plan has three points that focus on “World Class Education.” The parts are Educator Effectiveness, Positive Purpose, and College and Career Ready.

The Strategic Plan begins with what could be called a mission statement outlining the District’s beliefs and expectations.

Superintendent Jay Ehler said the Strategic Plan defines what the District has already been doing.

“It just needed to be put into a formalized plan,” Ehler said.

He said the plan puts a structure to what is already being done. In addition, the Strategic Plan is updated yearly to make sure it is still meeting the District’s goals.

“Really, it is an ongoing process,” he said.

The Strategic Plan includes addressing educator effectiveness including learning and teaching. The Strategic Plan is also affected by community needs, the District’s relationship with the community and its needs.

The most important part of the Strategic Plan, he said is to be sure students leave the District as lifelong learners.

The Strategic Plan is divided into sections: Educator Effectiveness that includes subsections of Effective Classroom Strategies, Curriculum & Assessment, and School Improvement; Positive Relationships with topics of Positive Purpose, ACES, and Community Partnerships; Future Ready Students: College and Career Ready, Fiscal Management and School Board Goals.
