Strategic Planning Flyer

Dear Griffin School District Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,

We are excited to announce that we are embarking on a strategic planning process to chart the course for the future of our school district. This is a crucial undertaking that will help us define our goals, prioritize our resources, and ensure that we are providing the best possible education for all our students.

What is a Strategic Plan?
A strategic plan is a roadmap that outlines our district's vision, mission, and key priorities for the next several years. It helps us focus our efforts and resources on the areas that will have the greatest impact on student success. This plan will guide our decisions and actions, ensuring that we are working towards a shared vision for the future.

Why is Your Feedback Important?
Your input is invaluable in this process. By participating in the strategic planning process, you will help us:

* Identify the core values that should guide our district.
* Determine the most important initiatives to enhance student learning and well-being.
* Ensure that our schools are meeting the needs of all students and families.

AI-Assisted Feedback:
To help us gather and analyze your feedback effectively, we are using an AI tool, Student Story AI. This AI is a large language model, which means it is designed to understand and process detailed, nuanced responses. Please feel free to explain your answers in as much detail as you feel is necessary. The more information you provide, the better we can understand your perspective.

Data Privacy and Security:
We understand that some families may have questions about the use of AI. Please be assured that this is a closed system, and all information collected through the questionnaire is securely stored within Student Story AI. Your responses are anonymous and not shared outside of this platform. They will only be used for the purpose of developing our strategic plan. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your feedback is handled with the utmost confidentiality.

Ways to Submit Your Answers:
You can submit your answers to the questionnaire in the following ways:

  • Type your responses directly into the online form.

  • Use voice-to-text to dictate your responses.

  • Call 1-470-795-3632 to capture your answers via an automated phone call.

How Can You Participate?
We invite you to share your thoughts and ideas by completing our strategic planning questionnaire. Your feedback will be carefully considered as we develop our plan.

YOU CAN ACCESS THE QUESTIONNAIRE HERE (the link will soon be available on our website, too):

Griffin Strategic Plan Questionnaire

The questionnaire will be available for response until 5:00 p.m. on February 14th. We believe that a strong school district is built on collaboration and community involvement. We encourage you to take a few minutes to share your perspective and help us shape the future of Griffin School District. We also invite you to forward this email to any Griffin community members who may have an interest in providing input on the strategic plan.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Sincerely,

Kirsten Rue, Superintendent
