What is Imagine 2030?

Imagine 2030 is a community-driven strategic planning initiative designed to shape the future of Haslett Public Schools. Throughout the latter half of the 2024-25 school year, we look forward to engaging the community in meaningful dialogue about our shared aspirations for the district's future. Together, we will create a strategic vision that reflects our community's values, addresses our challenges, and builds on our strengths.

To ensure that every voice is heard, we will gather input through a series of events and opportunities led by our school principals. A district task force will synthesize this feedback for review with the Board of Education. Together, we will create a shared vision for the future of our schools that reflects our community's aspirations and addresses our challenges.

What We’ll Create Together

The outcome of these community conversations will result in a well-aligned, comprehensive strategic plan to guide Haslett Public Schools into the future. For implementation in the 2025–2026 school year, we will develop the following key elements:

  1. Unifying Vision: A clear picture of our aspirations for the future of education in our district. 
  2. Mission Statement: Establishing our core purpose and commitments to the community. 
  3. Values: Defining the principles that guide our work and decision-making.
  4. Strategic Goals and Objectives: Measurable priorities that focus our efforts and resources on the areas that matter most. 

Through a parallel process, school leaders will work to align existing school-level initiatives with the outcomes of Imagine 2030 to ensure that the work happening in classrooms and schools is directly connected to our shared vision and strategic goals.

Together, these elements will form a focused, cohesive system that drives meaningful progress and ensures Haslett Public Schools continues to meet the needs of our students and families. This plan will serve as our roadmap for the next five years, keeping us on track as we move forward.

How We’ll Get There

Our Imagine 2030 strategic planning process will unfold in four key phases:

School-Level Discussions (February–March):
Principals will host focus groups, workshops, town halls, surveys, and panels to gather input from students, staff, families, and community members. These conversations will identify key themes and ensure every voice is heard, forming the foundation for district-wide planning.

Task Force Analysis & Synthesis (March–April):
A district task force will review and synthesize input from each school, identifying common themes and aligning them with district priorities. This group will develop recommendations that reflect our community's shared goals.

Board of Education Review & Feedback (April–June):
Monthly workshop sessions with the Board of Education will allow for review of community input and ongoing dialogue, ensuring transparency and continuous refinement throughout the process.

Strategic Plan Development (June–July):
The final strategic plan will be developed and refined, incorporating our community's input into a clear roadmap for Haslett Public Schools' future.
