McKinney, Texas — In June 2023, the Board of Trustees and Mr. Pratt began the visioning work for McKinney ISD’s Strategic Plan. They created the district’s vision, beliefs, and identified six strategic priorities for our district.
In October 2023, the Strategic Planning Team was established, bringing together 79 members including teachers, administrators, parents, students, community members, and business partners. Over a span of two days, the Strategic Planning Team collaborated to explore crucial questions, including defining the district’s current state, envisioning its direction for the next 3 to 5 years, and identifying primary areas for improvement within the context of the six strategic priorities: Safety and Security, Teaching and Learning, McKinney ISD Family, Culture, Communications, and Finance and Facilities.
The team members successfully crafted the district’s new mission statement, providing a framework for the strategic plan and clarifying the heart and hope of the district. In alignment with the priorities, objectives and strategies were developed to ensure the effective implementation and achievement of the outlined goals.
In November 2023, Action Teams, comprising an additional 116 stakeholders, collaborated to advance the Strategic Team’s efforts by formulating action plans. These teams were guided by cabinet members and district administrators to ensure alignment and intention was carried forward. Each person on the Action Team was assigned to one of the six district priorities based on their interest, expertise, or experience. The members worked to create action steps to ensure the long-range goals were achieved.
In January 2024, the Strategic Planning Team and Action Team Leaders convened for a comprehensive, day-long session. The purpose of this gathering was to review the proposed action steps, foster consensus among the team members, and ensure that the devised objectives and strategies are actively implemented. The team approved 21 action plans. These plans will be living documents implemented over the next 3 to 5 years and consistently reviewed and revised to ensure strategic goals are fully achieved. Progress and revisions to the action plans will be reported to the Board of Trustees each year as a means of accountability.
The McKinney ISD Strategic Plan was accepted by the Board on January 22, 2024. Mr. Pratt will determine the year to begin each action plan, designate a point person overseeing implementation, and establish an evaluation system.
The Strategic Plan becomes a part of the District Plan, Campus Plans, and Community-Based Accountability. Under the leadership of the Board of Trustees and Mr. Pratt, McKinney ISD’s Strategic Plan will serve as the roadmap for transforming the district and turning the vision into reality for McKinney students, staff, and community.
