AUSD Strategic Plan 2003-2008
Alameda Unified School District is in the process of developing a strategic plan. A group of 70 individuals representing teachers, parents, staff, administrators and community members have spent the past few months developing possible goals for AUSD. These goals were presented to focus groups to provide a check point for the participants. I took the goals and broke them into smaller statements and created a survey. The staff survey results and parents survey results are on separate web pages, while the overall survey results are below. Comments on the suvery are here: AUSD Strategic Plan Survey Comments
