Hello. The purpose of this video is to share with
all stakeholders our proposal for the renovation
of the Orange County Public Schools strategic plan.
Here's our visual for OCPS 2020. This is the
current Orange County Public Schools strategic
plan. It was developed in 2015 as a refresh of the
previous plan and includes the vision, what we
strive to become. The mission, why we exist as an
organization. Our core values, our market
differentiators or items that make us unique and
special and our goals. Over the last six months
through a sequence of board work sessions Dr. Jenkins
and the School Board have been revisiting
the current strategic plan. They received updates
from each of the district divisions and conducted
a thorough situational analysis revealing various
strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats.
The results from this environmental scan led to the
suggested renovation of various elements of our
plan. Here you will see a visual in draft form of
the proposed 0CPS 2025 strategic plan. Let me
walk you through some of the changes in greater
detail.
This slide depicts the market differentiators, or
points of pride for our district. These are based
on the strengths of the SWOT analysis. On the top
of the page for your reference are listed the
market differentiators in our current OCPS 2020
plan and on the bottom in blue. You can read the
proposed changes for 2025. You will
see the board wants to continue to highlight are
high quality academics arts and extracurricular
activities, our state of the art facilities and
our innovation in digital learning. They would
also like to add that we are a leader in career
and technical education. We offer extensive
choices and unique opportunities for our students.
We embrace a diverse community and are transparent
and accountable to our stakeholders. In a moment
you'll be provided a link to a feedback form
where you can let us know if we missed
highlighting any elements that you feel set
OCPS apart from other districts. Next the Board
examined our district's core values. They would
like to replace the previous values on the left in
orange with the updated values on the right in
blue. They believe we are a system focused on
equity, integrity, inclusion, innovation, respect and
collaboration. With the renovation of our new
strategic plan we hope to provide opportunities
for stakeholders to tell us more about what these
core values mean to them and how we as an OCPS
community embody these values in our daily lives.
Moving on you can see here the proposed changes to
the OCPS vision and mission. Our vision is what we
desire to be. The proposed OCPS 2025 vision is to
ensure every student has a promising and
successful future. Our mission is what we do. The
proposed update here is in blue and reads with the
support of families and the community. We create
exciting and successful pathways to lead our
students to success. Lastly the school board
reviewed the goals from OCPS 2020. In our new
strategic plan OCPS 2025 the
district goals will be renamed objectives to align
with current best practices. As you can see here
most of the objectives will remain the same. If we
start at the bottom of this list and work up we
still want to focus on an engaged and invested
community, efficient operations and providing a
safe environment. The changes in our overarching
objectives include the addition of the phrase
positive climate as well as broadening our current
focus on student achievement to capture both high
expectations for student learning and student
social and emotional well-being. The proposal is
for these six objectives on the right side of your
screen in blue to be adopted as the district wide
big buckets or major focus areas to align all of
our work over the next five years. Before sharing
the link for the feedback form let's review the
proposed timeline. This timeline starts here and
now with you engaging in this presentation and
sharing your feedback. As you can see the feedback
period will conclude in late October. We ask that
after today you share this video and talk to
others about how they see themselves contributing
to the greater OCPS community. Principals will be
charged with sharing this information formally
with their faculty, PTSA and SAC. The OCPS
Communications department will be sending out a
Connect Orange message. This notice will provide
more information about our upcoming community
meetings which are scheduled to occur in the months
of September and October. At these evening
gatherings each school board member will engage
their constituents on this topic as well as gather
feedback on proposed start time changes.
In November the feedback results will be analyzed
and shared with the superintendent and school
board. They will then make final recommendations
and alterations as needed. The goal is for this
entire process to conclude with the final school
board approval of the renovated vision, mission,
values, objectives and market differentiators in
December. Now we would like to hear from you.
