Northshore School District School Board Retreat May 16, 2026

The Northshore School District School Board held a retreat on May 16, 2026, focusing primarily on community engagement strategies and the upcoming refresh of the district's strategic plan. The board discussed continuing quarterly community conversations across the district's four corners and explored innovative ways to engage the community, such as attending existing municipal events with informational tables and providing child care and activities to increase accessibility. The retreat also featured a detailed presentation by Dr. Tammy Campbell from Scholar First on the strategic planning process, emphasizing a student-centered, equity-driven approach with measurable goals and outcomes. The board will actively observe and later vote on the refreshed strategic plan, which aims to streamline initiatives, align district efforts, and improve student outcomes. While no direct procurement or contracting decisions were made, the discussion included considerations of resource allocation for community engagement and professional development related to the strategic plan implementation.
