Strategic Plan - Planning for the Future of the Shelton School District
December 2021: Focus Groups
The Shelton School District is planning for our next five-year strategic plan, and we need our community’s help. We are holding a handful of focus groups starting in December to have conversations with students, parents, staff, businesses, and community members. During the focus groups, Superintendent Jessee will talk about the process of developing a strategic plan that will influence the skills, experiences, and character we instill in our 4,300 students over the next five years and beyond. Participants will have an opportunity to have a conversation about their hopes for the future of Shelton schools.
Families and community members are invited to attend one of the following focus groups which will be held via Zoom:
- Monday, December 6: 6:00 - 7:00 PM
- Wednesday, December 8: 6:00 - 7:00 PM
Each focus group will be capped at 15 participants and registration is required.
Please register online by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CL9YV7V.
Once you have registered, you will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link to attend the focus group.
October 27- November 12, 2021: Community Survey
Join the Superintendent of Shelton Schools, Wyeth Jessee, and Jeff Slakey with iFiber One News as they discuss how YOU can get involved in planning for the future of our schools.
Superintendent Wyeth Jessee wants to hear from you and is asking you to share your experiences and hopes for the future of Shelton schools.
Feedback gathered from families, students, staff, and community will be used to shape the district’s next strategic plan and vision for the next five years. The current strategic plan, Graduation for All, is set to expire in 2022.
A strategic plan is the guiding document that helps focus the goals of the district as we do all our planning. There are many ways students can be supported and different types of programs and goals that we could lay out for our schools, but it’s important that the district is aligned to the priorities of families, staff, students, and the community. We don't want the district to develop a plan for the future without taking into consideration what has worked and what hasn't worked.
While 100% graduation continues to be our focus and goal for our district, we know that the way we get there has changed. We have learned a lot in the past five years about how to best serve students, and we know you have too. We want to hear from you.

The survey will close on November 12, 2021.
All parents will be emailed a survey to share their feedback as well.
