Long-Range Plan
In 2009, the Cheyenne Mountain School District Board of Education began working on a comprehensive long-range plan designed to help guide future governance, practice, and decision-making in the District.
Designed as a four-stage process, it is the Board’s intent that the plan will enable the District to further its mission of providing a safe learning environment that empowers each student to be a contributing citizen by assuring personal and intellectual development, and to meet our expectation that every school, every classroom, and every student achieves…no exceptions…no excuses.
Five Priorities Driving the Need to Develop a Long-Range Plan |
1. |
Ensuring our graduates are prepared to the best of their abilities to be highly successful at higher levels of education or in the workforce. |
2. |
Supporting a safe and healthy learning environment. |
3. |
Continuing to maintain both high levels of achievement and high levels of growth on external measures of accountability. |
4. |
Learning, along with our community, what it will take for the Cheyenne Mountain School District to appropriately adapt to an ever-changing future. |
5. |
Realizing the Superintendent’s Vision of building on Cheyenne Mountain’s tradition of being a district of excellent schools and establishing an excellent school district.

Stage One: Taking Stock Time Line: December 2008 – December 2009 |
Stage One of the long-range planning process included a number of District and community-wide data gathering activities designed to help establish a baseline to understand our strengths, challenges, and possibilities. These activities included Board of Education interviews with Cheyenne Mountain High School graduates, accountability surveys submitted to all District parents, an electronic survey of recent graduates, the 2009 Colorado Student Wellness survey, the District’s inaugural academic summit, a community survey of budget priorities, and multiple community forums. Summary results from many of these activities are included below:
|
Stage Two: Setting Direction Time Line: Spring 2010 |
Stage Two of the plan will involve the Board of Education and key stakeholders developing specific goals (primary and supporting) aligned with the priorities established by the Board and responding to data collected in Stage One.
|
Stage Stage Three: Action Planning Time Line: Fall 2010 |
Stage Three will require the Board of Education, the District’s Leadership Team, and key stakeholders to identify action steps necessary to achieve each supporting goal identified in Stage Two as well as measures of success and accountability.
|
Stage Four: Implementation, Evaluation, and Recalibration Time Line: On-going |
Stage Four will span the implementation of all action plans and will include application of all measures of success and accountability. The results of these measures will result in the recalibration of each goal and measure in order to ensure continued work toward fulfilling our mission and meeting our expectation.
