While conducting the in-person community meetings, the District conducted multiple surveys to engage community feedback.

Hutchinson Public Schools USD 308 is excited to announce a series of public engagement meetings. The Facilities Steering Committee of Hutchinson Public Schools has been meeting since January 2023 to determine district facility priorities. Community input is invaluable in the following steps as the committee develops a District Facilities Plan that meets the current and future needs and desires of the USD 308 community.

Each session will include a presentation of committee findings, analysis of the current facilities status, identified areas for improvement, and concepts to develop a comprehensive District Facilities Plan that aligns with the District’s objectives. Information gathered from the committee findings and community meetings will be presented to the USD 308 Board of Education in May along with a comprehensive District Facilities Plan. Each session is free to attend and open to the public.

The District Facilities Plan is a part of the comprehensive Strategic Plan, approved by the USD 308 Board of Education in early 2024. Click here to read the Strategic Plan.

The USD 308 strategic plan serves as a roadmap for our organization, outlining the Board of Education’s goals, objectives, and strategies for achieving long-term success. By articulating a clear vision and direction, our strategic plan provides guidance and alignment for all stakeholders of the organization, ensuring that everyone is working towards common objectives. By prioritizing resources, allocating budgets, and making informed decisions, our leadership can maximize efficiency and effectiveness. With a well-developed strategic plan in place, USD 308 can anticipate potential challenges, adapt to changing circumstances, and capitalize on emerging opportunities, ultimately propelling us toward success.

Additionally, the strategic plan fosters accountability and transparency, as progress towards goals can be tracked and measured over time. Our strategic plan has the power to positively impact organizational culture by providing a clear sense of direction, purpose, and alignment among all stakeholders. When employees understand the organization's vision, goals, and objectives as outlined in the strategic plan, they feel more connected to the mission and values of the organization. This shared understanding fosters a sense of unity and cohesion, promoting collaboration and teamwork across departments. Overall, an organizational strategic plan serves as a catalyst for shaping and strengthening a positive organizational culture that fosters innovation, compassion, integrity, and perseverance.
