Rural Schools Collaborative Board Approves 2016-17 Action Plan
Plan will drive work into the New Year!
The Rural Schools Collaborative board of directors, under the leadership of 2016-17 chair Renee Carr, approved a previously proposed organizational action plan during its November 16, 2016 board of directors meeting. RSC's annual action plans drive the ongoing and mission-driven work of the organization.
Our mission statement: The Rural Schools Collaborative strengthens the bonds between rural schools and communities through place-based engagement, rural philanthropy, and developing teacher-leaders.
Action Plan for 2016-17
- Enhance and approve a revised organizational Belief Statement, Mission Statement, and Scope of Work.
- Approve and act upon a three-year capitalization strategy that will provide adequate operations support for July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020.
- Explore and consider national-level partnerships that would augment the Collaborative’s work.
- Advance the Rural Teacher Corps through a webinar/videoconference, researching other potential partners while continuing to explore the different elements of the concept.
- Move forward with an organizational structure that includes hubs and key point people and formalizing the roles of partners.
- Survey 2015-16 Grants in Place recipients to help determine the impact of RSC’s inaugural teacher-centered grant program.
