LAKE WORTH ISD | 2022 IX
Lake Worth ISD Develops New 5-Year Strategic Plan By Jessica Gauthier District Communications Coordinator & Webmaster, Lake Worth ISD In October of 2021, Lake Worth ISD aimed to develop a strategic plan that would be the district’s framework for the next five years. Working together, staff members, students, parents, community members, and city leaders worked for four days to develop a new mission, vision, moto, and values for the district.
The group of 50 or so people developed the district’s new goals and priorities. The work was not always easy, but because they all had the students of LWISD in mind, they kept working to achieve a consensus for each task. After the four days were over, the strategic plan was completed,
and the district had a clean path to success that includes short and long term goals, checkpoints, and a clear timeline. The strategic plan was presented to the Lake Worth ISD Board of Trustees on January 18th, 2022, where the board voted unanimously to adopt the plan. In March of 2022, Dr. Rose Mary Neshyba, Superintendent of Schools, presented the strategic plan to all the district staff, which were eager to learn more about it. Teachers were excited to begin implementing the strategy. “It’s important for all our staff members, regardless of their role in the district, be aware of what our goals are. The only way we can ensure student success is if we all work together to maximize our students’ potential”, said Dr. Neshyba at a campus staff meeting. One aspect of the plan that teachers are excited about is LWISD’s new Portrait of a Graduate that proclaims that by their graduation from Lake Worth High School, our students will be Bullfrogs for L.I.F.E. The work to achieve this goal, however, starts as early as pre-k and kindergarten. All the employees at Lake Worth ISD are excited to see what new opportunities this strategic plan will bring for staff, students, and the community.
