The Verona Area School District recently engaged in a strategic planning process through the lens of student equity. Our process was different than other planning processes we’ve ever done. The discussions were more raw than most we’ve ever had and the outcomes are very different than those of similar, more traditional, mainstream planning processes. Our intentionality to plan through an equity lens has positioned our school district to make significant movement in closing achievement and opportunity gaps. We don’t have all the answers, but we can share our story and what we would do —and would not do—again.
