Conroe ISD trustees are developing a strategic plan aimed at aligning campus goals and improving student outcomes. The initiative focuses on literacy, leadership, and community collaboration.
Conroe Independent School District (CISD) is drafting a long-term strategic plan to harmonize district goals and boost student results, Superintendent Curtis Null revealed during a recent workshop.
“We have goals, but the missing component has been a strategic plan to unify those efforts,” Null said, recalling earlier delays due to rapid development, bond elections, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Deputy Superintendent Bethany Medford stressed the district’s present improvement plan tackles specific performance deficiencies but lacks a broader, future-focused strategy. She identified five significant goals for the new plan: student accomplishment and post-secondary success, school leadership and fiscal responsibility, recruitment, development, and retention of staff, a safe and collaborative school culture, and effective instruction.
“These goals hold equal weight and are essential for creating successful campuses and a thriving district,” Medford further shared.
Board President Misty Odenweller recognized literacy as a critical concern, underlining its relevance across all courses. “If you can’t read, you can’t write or succeed in math, science, or history,” she added.
Trustees underlined the need for community engagement in crafting the plan, which attempts to meet district-wide issues and provide clear direction for long-term success. With a focus on teamwork and measurable goals, the plan aspires to ensure every student is ready for academic and personal excellence.
