Goal Area 1: Communications (Internal and External)
Internal Objectives:
- Develop clear systems and expectations for all forms of internal staff communications so that each building or central office department receives consistent and timely updates; ensure all staff members are knowledgeable and informed regarding important district information so that they can confidently act as stewards of the district’s vision and decisions.
- Create a two-way communication process that allows the certified and classified staff to interact with the administration; consider how staff concerns are addressed and then communicated to all staff members; consider how student behavioral concerns are addressed and cascaded to the staff..
- Establish a comprehensive external communications strategy that attempts to engage and earn the trust of residents who do not, or no longer have, a direct connection to Canton Local Schools; develop consensus on appropriate communication channels and tactics; create consistent communication with all community stakeholders, in particular with current families.
- Enact tactics to address student enrollment to other school districts or family movement out of the district. Continue to promote positive events, staff and student profiles and any other notable achievements regarding the Canton Local Schools in an attempt to maintain student populations.
