LEAN Frog President and Co-founder Byron Headrick outlines the Strategic Planning Process at the Hartselle City Schools board meeting. LEAN Frog will assist Hartselle City Schools as they build a strategic plan with the community.

PastedGraphic-1PastedGraphic-1Hartselle City Schools is shaping its path forward and has asked LEAN Frog Business Solutions to assist with strategic planning.   The Hartselle City Schools’ Board of Education approved Superintendent Dr. Vic Wilson’s recommendation of LEAN Frog as an external facilitator.

LEAN Frog will assist the Hartselle school system with developing a measurable strategic plan that incorporates their mission, vision, values and strategic objectives over the next 5 years.

“It takes proactive district leadership –the superintendent working together with the board members– to recognize the need to redefine and refocus priorities,” said Byron Headrick, President and Co-founder of LEAN Frog.  “LEAN Frog is proud to work shoulder to shoulder with Hartselle City Schools as they begin their strategic planning process with all of their stakeholders.”

Hartselle’s superintendent, Dr. Vic Wilson, frequently commended for having the same values of the people of Hartselle and for valuing educational opportunities for Hartselle students, said that the strategic plan ties in with his emphasis on creating learning opportunities for every child.  “The strategic plan helps us better anticipate and prepare not only for challenges and how to minimize them, but also for opportunities so we can plan to take advantage of them,” he said.

Parents and community members are encouraged and invited to become involved in this process. It is the goal of the strategic planning process to involve everyone in the community.  A survey seeking opinions and priorities from everyone in the community will be made available beginning in Mid-October.  Community members are encouraged to watch the Hartselle Enquirer for further details about how they can participate.
