BOARD WORK SESSION OF THE GILBERT COMMUNITY SCHOOL BOARD District Office Conference Room November 20, 2018
At 4:00 p.m. a board work session for the purpose of discussing 2018-19 District Priorities and Long Range Goals of the Gilbert Community School Board of Directors was called to order by President Brian Anderson with the following members answering roll call: Tyler Holck, Kim Mosiman, John Nelson and Deb Ordal. Administration present: Supt. Lindsey Beecher. Guests present: Jim Verlengia and Jon Sheldahl, Heartland AEA. Motion by Holck, second by Nelson to approve the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. The board worked together with Jim Verlengia and Jon Sheldahl to develop/discuss the 2018-19 District Priorities and Long Range Goals. The three pillars of this work are 1) Purpose; 2) Process; and 3) Product. The majority of the meeting was focused around pillar number three, “What does the product look like?” The board held discussion regarding their ideas and how to get there. The consistent message from this discussion was vision, priorities, community, principles to guide the board for direction, long lasting (3-5 years), “uniquely Gilbert”, and student’s success in life (post high school graduation). This work will continue by using community focus groups to bring information to the board to continue their work on the district’s long range goals. Jim Verlengia left at 5:10 p.m. to attend another meeting. Motion by Holck, second by Ordal to adjourn the work session. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 5:38 p.m.
