He discusses how far the district has come the past five years and asks for your help to strategically plan for the next five years. Everything from Vision and Goals to Curriculum, Assessment, Instruction and Culture will be considered. Please take a few minutes to listen to Superintendent Evans in this video, then make your voice heard by filling out a survey on this website.

 

 

What is The Next 5?

• The Next 5 is a community-wide engagement process to gather input and ideas from all NUSD stakeholders to help us plan a strategic direction for the next five years.

What is the LCAP (Local Control and Accountability Plan)?

• Visit our LCAP website to learn more about the LCAP

Who can participate?

• Everyone in Natomas is invited to participate, whether you are a student or teacher, parent or guardian, or future parent in NUSD.  We are interested in hearing your feedback.

What is the timeline for The Next 5, when will the work begin?

• From January 8, 2017 through February 17, 2017 we will gather input from our stakeholders about the current reality of NUSD schools and ideas for the future
• From February 21, 2017 through March 31, 2017 we will craft the strategic direction of NUSD using your feedback
• In the Spring we will present The Next 5 Plan to the NUSD Board of Trustees for approval

Where can I learn more about the things happening in Natomas Unified School District?

• You can watch one of The Next 5 videos on this website to learn about our 1) Vision, Core Beliefs and Goals; 2) Operations 3) Curriculum and Pathways; 4) Instruction, Assessment, and Student Learning; and 5) Culture, Climate, Engagement and Communication.

What will happen with my feedback if I complete a survey or attend a meeting?

• We will collect feedback from all of our stakeholders at more than 20 meetings, through the survey, and during School Board meetings.  Collectively, this feedback will contribute to the development of our LCAP and our strategic direction for the next five years.  In alignment with Ed Code 52062 the district will respond in writing to comments received from the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC) and the District Parent Advisory Committee.

Where are our District’s Vision and Core Beliefs?

• You can view information about these important items here: NUSD District Vision and Core Beliefs

Are all The Next 5/LCAP meetings the same?

• No, the regional meetings and Special Board Meeting are two hours in length and will provide time for a deeper discussion about the district and The Next 5.  The other meetings at school sites are designed as 1 hour meetings with 20 minutes scheduled to watch the five videos, 15 minutes to complete the survey, and 15 minutes for questions and answers.  If you watch the videos and complete the survey here, attending one of the meetings at your school would cover the same content.
