We are pleased to announce that Grayslake Community High School District 127 is embarking upon a strategic planning process this year.  Our goal for this process is to increase the engagement and participation of staff members, students, parents, and school community members.  This process entails inviting community input through administering a brief survey to interested stakeholders in the school district.  Survey data will be reviewed on November 2 and 3, during a two-day strategic planning session designed to craft a five-year plan for the district.

Excellent schools are important assets to D127 families, communities, and local businesses.    As we plan for the future, we seek to include the voices of members of each of our communities.   We hope to include family and community members, as well as representatives from community organizations, civic groups and businesses.  We are seeking individuals interested in helping us improve our vision of, and commitment to, excellence in education within a fiscally responsible and conservative framework. 

You are a valued member of Grayslake Community High School District 127 and we kindly request your participation in this survey.  Participation involves providing input and direction to our Board of Education regarding the future of District 127.   The District invites you to share your thinking on several areas of interest, including: general demographics; finance; facilities; student achievement and instruction; climate and culture; and public relations.  All survey data will be forwarded to the strategic planning committee and given serious consideration as the district develops its plan.  Please complete the survey by Friday, September 28.

Thank you for your assistance as we work together to plan for tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Catherine M. Finger   Superintendent		Ann M. Dingman President, Board of Education
