Eatonville School District begins strategic planning process

Eatonville School District is beginning a strategic planning process for the purpose of defining the decisions and actions that shape and guide the future direction for the school district over the next several years. The planning process will include targeted and prioritized action steps to move the district forward. One of the most important components to making this a successful effort is community input – before the plan is developed.

Residents are invited to complete a survey, approximately 15-20 minutes, that will assist in providing the community’s thoughts on public education for the district. This information will be provided to a Strategic Planning Team as it works to develop a blueprint for progress for Eatonville Schools.

The survey will be open to all stakeholders (employees, citizens, parents, business members and secondary students) now through May 26.
