ALAMEDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD AGENDA ITEM

Item Title:	Approval of AUSD's Strategic Plan (5 Mins/Action)
Item Type:	Action
Background:	In February 2020, the Board approved AUSD’s Graduate profile, which consists of four goals for students as they exit AUSD’s schools and prepare for life beyond our K-12 program: 1. I Am College and Career & Life Ready 2. I Seek Opportunities and Challenges 3. I Know Myself and Work Effectively with Others 4. I Build Community Through Understanding and Service Work on the District’s Strategic Plan was to begin the following month, March 2020. Instead, school districts across the country had to prepare for what has turned out to be an almost 2-year period of uncertainty due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. As students returned to in-person learning last year, the Superintendent and his team picked back up on the important work of a Strategic Plan and formed AUSD’s Strategic Planning Workgroup. This group includes the following team members: Board Member Megan Sweet, Ed.D. Superintendent Pasquale Scuderi Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services Kirsten Zazo Senior Manager of Data, Assessment, and Research Lindsey Jenkins-Stark Senior Director of Equity, African-American and Multi-Ethnic Student Achievement Shamar Edwards Senior Director of Special Education Randhir Bains, Ed.D. Director of Secondary Vernon Walton, Ed.D. Director of Elementary Yvonne Wright Coordinator of Language and Literacy Nancy Lai Principal of Lincoln Middle School Sheila SatheWarner The group has been working to set universal goals pursued by targeted processes to achieve those goals. Targeted universalism is an approach that supports the needs of the particular while reminding us that we are all part of the same social fabric. The team has updated the Board on the work done this Spring, including information about the engagement the Strategic Planning team has conducted in order to hear from many of the District's stakeholders, including PTA groups, teachers, principals, district office staff, and students. Staff also outlined the timeline for the Strategic Plan as we finish the 2021-2022 school year and prepare for the 2022-2023 school year. Tonight, Superintendent Pasquale Scuderi is asking the Board to approve the Strategic Plan.
