During the first weekend of February 2012, the Santee School District governing board, in collaboration with administrators, teachers, classified employees, parents, and community members held a StrategicPlanning workshop.  The strategic planning process provides the school district with a plan driven by a vision of the future and focus areas for allocating resources. With limited resources available to solve short- and long-term dilemmas for school districts, it is critical to prioritize the important work we must accomplish for children. Prioritization of the most important focus areas generated from this process and developing action plans from the established goals will make a difference to the future education of the students.  Santee School District greatly appreciates that hard work of all who are participating in the strategic planning process.
