Superintendent’s Transition
90 Day Plan
Introduction - The First 90 Days
The purpose of the entry plan is to create an intentional and inclusive process for my transition as the new superintendent at Rochester Community Schools. The process is designed to create ideas for sustaining (building on the good work that is currently happening) and strengthening Rochester’s distinguished past successes (looking to the future with improving structures to increase student achievement).
The Superintendent’s Transition 90 Day Plan, will guide my work as Superintendent of Rochester Community Schools. My past years experiences as a Superintendent with Fraser Public Schools will help guide our work moving forward.
This plan also serves as an opportunity to view the district efforts with a new lens. These action items will allow me to grow and gain greater insights regarding the strengths and needs of our students, staff, organizational system, and community as a whole as I conduct this proposed 90 Day Plan.
Priorities will include establishing a strong school and community presence right from the start and implementing collaborative plans that build on the exceptional work that has already occurred throughout the district.
It is important to note, I will perform my duties and responsibilities associated with leading and operating Rochester Community Schools while simultaneously executing the transition plan.
