Implementing an Integrated Operational Plan

In this podcast episode, Bob hosts Dr. Emily McDonald, assistant superintendent for Lakeville Public Schools. They discuss the process of developing and implementing a district operational plan that is integrated across district departments and aligned with the strategic plan as well as supporting the building improvement plans. This plan helps to align the district's strategic plan and goals with the work of every department in the district. Emily discusses the planning, the communication plan, both internally and externally, and the training support along the way. Finally, Emily talks about the importance of the district teams engaging in the same work expected of buildings, iterating and making changes, and building it into the total system.
