October 30, 2023 at 6:00 PM - Board Workshop

In February of 2020, the Omaha Public Schools launched a new Strategic Plan of Action, powered by foresight. Our Strategic Plan of Action includes a process for updates/reporting to the Board of Education and the community. This workshop will include updates to goals outlined in the Strategic Plan of Action. The following six goals will be reviewed:  

Strategic Priority 1: Academics   

• By June of 2022 develop, field-test, train, and deploy Research’s Academic Needs/Intervention Indicator Dashboard to meet the district’s current and future needs.  

Strategic Priority 2: Staff   

• By June of 2025, create employee development programs including grow your own programs for each department to support succession planning and employee retention.  

Strategic Priority 3: Financial Accountability  

• By August of 2022, the Omaha Public Schools implements a participatory budget process aligned to student needs, District priorities and school improvement planning. 

Strategic Priority 4: Ethic of Care  

• Each year, all schools and programs will demonstrate an increase of up to 2% in the percentage of students missing fewer than nine days and demonstrate a reduction of the percentage of students identified as chronically absent.  
• By August of 2024, a district plan for improved environmental stewardship will be implemented that projects a 5% reduction in energy consumption over the course of the school year. 
• By June of 2022, reflect an ethic of care for Omaha Public Schools stakeholders by communicating with authentic and accessible language, supporting staff in creating welcoming environments and empowering team members to serve as positive, knowledgeable ambassadors for Omaha Public Schools.
