District 200 seeks input on new strategic plan

When I joined Wheaton Warrenville Unit District 200 a little more than four years ago, the district had recently completed the Engage 200 community engagement program.

Through that program, community feedback was solicited on a number of topics and ultimately, a steering committee presented the community feedback, findings and recommendations to the school board. One of my first priorities was to turn those recommendations and feedback into a strategic plan. In working with our school board and district-level leaders, we adopted Vision 2018.

As Vision 2018 comes to an end, we are planning for the future. We've drafted Vision 2022, a road map for the next four years, and I again am asking for community input. Community members are invited to attend a presentation and discussion to offer feedback as we finalize the plan.

We're offering two community feedback opportunities on Tuesday, March 13 - the first at 10 a.m. at Hubble Middle School, 3S600 Herrick Road, Warrenville, and the second at 7 p.m. at Monroe Middle School, 1855 Manchester Road, Wheaton.

While there is no need to RSVP, if you have questions, you are welcome to contact us at (630) 682-2469 or at communications@cusd200.org.

I'm always reminded by the fact that this community values education. This is the community's opportunity to weigh in on the future of your community schools. I hope to see you at one of our community sessions on March 13.
