Planning For Our Future

Planning Process Overview

The Roseville Area Schools planning process is anchored in our long-standing commitment to quality teaching and learning, and equity in all we do. Using an inclusive and participatory process, we are inviting input from key stakeholders and will use your contributions to shape analyses, a refined mission and vision, and draft strategic goals and strategies. We will share those drafts for your feedback, use the results to finalize a rigorous Strategic Plan, and work together to ensure every student has the opportunity and support to succeed.

April-July: Gather Round 1 input and share results publicly
July-October: Guided by Round 1 results, conduct analyses and draft refined mission and vision, goals, and strategies
October-November: Gather Round 2 feedback on drafts and use results to finalize the Strategic Plan
November and beyond: Make changes to align with and advance Strategic Plan implementation and monitoring

2022 Strategic Plan Final Report

The district’s final strategic framework was developed over eight months using an equity-centered process and in close collaboration with a wide range of key stakeholders across the area served by the district. The strategic framework includes the district’s vision, mission, long-term goals, and mid-term strategies. These provide critical direction as the district makes policy decisions, refines and updates work plan, shares information, and continues to engage stakeholders to help shape ongoing strategic decisions and actions on behalf of the students, families, and community we serve.
