North Wasco County School District 21 kicked off an effort to develop a strategic plan for the next five years.  At a short public meeting on Tuesday night, D-21 Superintendent Dr. Carolyn Bernal said the plan will guide decision making and investments.  The district plans to develop focus groups to meet via Zoom in the next two weeks made up of teachers, staff, families, students, and community partners.  Sign-ups for those groups will be available at the D-21 website, nwasco.k12.or.us.  A ten-to-fifteen question community survey will also be on the website from March 7 to April 1, and a community forum will take place in the spring or summer.  The goal is to have a strategic plan put together this summer.  Public Consulting Group has been brought on by the district to help facilitate the effort.
