Spring 2019
Community Equity Summit
Over 100 community members gave feedback on strategic themes, outcomes, and initiatives through an equity lens.
About the Strategic Plan
- Student first, always
- Building from where we are, instead of starting over
- Feedback Focused
- Data Driven
Student first, always
All of our efforts in the Boulder Valley School District are focused on the 31,000 students we serve and ensuring that they succeed not only today, but in the college and career pathway of their choice. As a result, this strategic plan will be focused on the students and how we can significantly improve student outcomes.
Building from where we are, instead of starting over
Feedback Focused
All of this work is built up the feedback of hundreds of BVSD parents, employees and community members. During his 100-Day Plan, Superintendent Rob Anderson met with the faculty at all 56 BVSD schools, as well as parents and community members at a number of Meet & Greet Sessions held regionally across Boulder Valley. During all of these sessions, participants provided direct feedback to the superintendent regarding the state of the district and areas they wanted improved. This feedback, along with all of the public engagement that led up to the Success Effect, has helped to inform and shape the new strategic plan.
Data Driven
We will develop measures that will help drive our work. We will focus on Return on Investment (ROI) so that we can stop doing what is not working; benchmark our performance both locally and nationally with similar, high performing districts; and develop targets that will allow us to focus our efforts on student outcomes. In order to establish a baseline, BVSD worked with Greenway Strategy Solutions to pull together as much data as possible regarding the state of the school district, including state assessment results, district culture and climate surveys and much, much more.
Winter 2019- Creation of Long Term Outcomes and Themes
Staff
District employees representing schools and departments gathered at the start of the year to brainstorm possible long term outcomes and strategic themes. The conversation focused on the district's data and what can be done to improve outcomes for students.
Families and Communities
Community Input Sessions
With draft long term outcomes and strategic themes in hand, BVSD held 7 community input sessions throughout January and February, including one for Spanish speakers, across the different regions of Boulder Valley. The feedback from both staff and community members helped shape the language and finalize the long term outcomes and themes.
Online Feedback
For families unable to attend in person, an online feedback form gathered input from over 150 participants.
Spring 2019- Strategic Objectives and Initiatives
Staff
With the long term outcomes and strategic themes finalized, Strategic Theme teams were formed, comprised of district staff, school leaders, and teachers. These teams were charged with creating objectives, which narrowed the focus of the themes, and strategic initiatives, significant projects to implement the objectives.
School leaders gave feedback on the draft strategic objectives and initiatives.
Families and Community
BVSD hosted a community wide equity summit in April 2019 attended by over 100 participants. At this summit participants were asked to evaluate the strategic plan framework through an equity lens and give suggestions on action items that would evolve from the initiatives.

Next Steps
The Strategic Plan is a marathon, not a sprint. Phase 1 launched with the start of the school year in Fall 2019. You can learn more about the Phase 1 Initiatives here.
