Strategic Plan 2022

• In 2018, the School Governance Council identified the need to gain broader

awareness of the SGC, the 2022 Strategic Plan, and the great work being done within Ridgeview to support the Plan.

• Communications in Panther Tales and Stakeholder Meetings are intended

to create broader awareness of our strategic goals.

• Today we are sharing updates on our progress & are asking for feedback

to guide our work over the next three years.

Title I Program Aligns to Strategic Plan

Overview of a Title I School/Program:

• To meet rigorous educational standards, schools with higher

percentages of low-income students receive additional funding.

• 35%: eligible for limited-use funds

Ridgeview is able to use funds to support all students as we work to achieve the goals of Strategic Plan 2022.
