Tumwater School District board approves five-year strategic plan

The Tumwater School District Board approved its 2025-30 Strategic Plan, aiming to enhance student-centered learning. Assistant Superintendent Meagan Dawson detailed the plan during a virtual meeting, noting contributions from over 2,000 community members across 26 planning sessions. The strategic framework focuses on student learning, instructional effectiveness, and empowering infrastructure, ensuring every student is known by name and prepared for their future. The plan defines a "Tumwater graduate" as a critical thinker and collaborative communicator. It includes specific measures for student progress to track the district's achievement of its goals.

Dawson emphasized the importance of a disciplined implementation roadmap to bridge the "implementation gap" often seen in improvement plans. Progress updates will occur annually, with ongoing professional collaboration and instructional feedback. This plan represents a significant commitment to enhancing educational outcomes in the Tumwater School District.
