Strategic Planning Services

Engagement & Development Services provides customized strategic planning support to help school districts, BOCES and other partner organizations clarify priorities, align resources, and move forward with purpose. Our approach is collaborative, data-informed, and grounded in the realities of public education, ensuring plans are both aspirational and actionable.

We partner with boards of education, superintendents, leadership teams, and key stakeholders to develop strategic plans and action steps that reflect community values, respond to current challenges, and position educational organizations for long-term success. Whether launching a new plan, refreshing an existing one, or looking to identify strategic action steps tied to a specific initiative or goal area, our services are designed to build shared understanding, strengthen alignment, and support effective implementation.

Our strategic planning support and deliverables are completely customizable and may Include:

  • Facilitation of board and leadership team retreats and planning sessions
  • Review and alignment of mission, vision, values, and district priorities
  • Stakeholder engagement strategies, including surveys, focus groups, and community input
  • Data analysis and environmental scans to inform goal setting
  • Development of clear, measurable goals and success indicators
  • Alignment of strategic goals with budget, programs, and operational priorities
  • Communication tools to support plan rollout and ongoing engagement

Strategic planning services are tailored to meet each organization’s unique context, timeline, and capacity. Our aim is to ultimately produce a clear, coherent roadmap that supports informed decision-making, strengthens organizational focus, and builds confidence among staff, families, and the broader community.
