Whitewater Unified School District Launches Strategic Planning Process, Invites Community Participation

WHITEWATER, WI — The Whitewater Unified School District has launched a strategic planning process to gather community input and establish priorities that will guide the district over the next three to five years.

The process began with a community survey that invited feedback from students, families, staff, and community members. Building on that initial outreach, the district will host a series of in-person focus groups later this month to further engage the community and gather more detailed input.

Community members are invited to attend one of the following engagement sessions:

Tuesday, February 24

  • 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. - Community Engagement Session, Whitewater Public Library

  • 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. - Parent Engagement Session, Whitewater High School LMC

Wednesday, February 25

  • 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. - Parent Engagement Session, Cravath Lakefront Community Center

  • 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. - Community Engagement Session, Whitewater High School Auditorium

Feedback gathered through the survey and engagement sessions will be used to identify key priorities and help guide district decision-making in the years ahead.

“This strategic planning process is about listening to our community and learning from the experiences of those we serve,” said Superintendent Samuel Karns. “The input we receive will help shape a shared vision for the future and ensure our priorities reflect what matters most to our school community.”
