Homewood schools will begin work on new strategic plan

The District 153 Board of Education has agreed with a proposal from Superintendent Dale Mitchell to embark on a new strategic plan for the district. The last plan was developed in 2012. “I think it’s a good time to do it,” Mitchell said when making the presentation to hire R.J.M. Consultancy Services for help with the plan’s direction. Mitchell said he would like to start the process as soon as possible. Work will begin with the board members before drawing in staff and community representatives. Dr. Robert Madonia of R.J.M. Consultancy . . .
