Strategic Plan Survey: Goals and Action Timeline
Last November, we asked the ISP parent community for your feedback on the updated Vision, Mission, Values and goals of ISP as part of updating the school’s Strategic Plan. The Board of Trustees, Senior Management Team (SMT), and the all-volunteer Strategic Planning Group (SPG) have been working diligently since then to further refine the school’s Strategic Plan, including timing to achieve the goals.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback about these goals and the action timeline. The survey will take 15-20 minutes of your time. Your feedback is vital to ensure that the school’s activities for the next 10 years are truly the vision of its community. DIRECT LINK TO SURVEY: http://bit.ly/StrategicISP
Complete the survey for a chance to win a ISP insulated wine/picnic tote valued at $85!
