Garland ISD Strategic Plan

In recent weeks, the Garland Chamber invited you to participate in the Garland ISD Community Input Survey and Focus Groups. Our partners at Garland ISD have been diligently working to gather feedback from the community to help with strategic decision-making as there are many levels to developing the strategic plan for the district and the input of local professionals like you is critical to the process.

Process

Community Input: Garland ISD hosted education summits and online survey invites for general input.

Focus Group Feedback: Garland ISD staff met with community and business leaders, district leaders, principals, parents, students and teachers for targeted feedback.

Learning Innovation Framework Design: A process to help clarify Garland ISD’s vision for the ideal learner experience based on the characteristics, skills, and traits that our community desires for students in our schools.

Action Team Planning: All data will be shared with a Design Team consisting of community members, parents, staff, and students who will use the data to create a framework for action for the District.

Implementation: After Garland ISD Board approval, District leadership determines how to implement the strategic plan over the next three to five years.
