VIII-B What Now? Action! "Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take many small steps." Helmut Schmidt At the beginning of this document I describe the ultimate destination for the Roseville learning community as "Quality Teaching and Learning for All." It will require many small but important steps to reach this destination. To assist me in planning for this "distant goal," I have utilized the advice and counsel from an eclectic cross-section of community members. I am especially grateful to the Educational Planning Advisory Committee, under the leadership of Mary Peterson and Bill Knutson, for providing sound advice and creative ideas on which to build my initial concepts. The constructive suggestions I received during open and lively discussions at staff ineetin�s in each of our district facilities allowed me to view our future challenges from a different perspective. Visiting with community leaders in each of our municipalities and receiving testimony at community public forums allowed for the "grassroots" feedback that helped me form many of my recon�endaiions, I appreciate all the �'� i7rr*~�i i*�i v involvement in this P r� �rt wx and thank everyone for the valuable contributions. I realize that I have presented the Roseville School Board with a number of time bound specific recommendations that will, if enacted, bring about significant changes in the way the district serves our learning community. There is no surefire method of reaching Roseville Area Schools' ultimate destination. It is my belief the above "mileposts and cornerstones" recommendations, built on the communal work of the Education Planning Advisory Committee, the joint thinking of our staff and the open and honest feedback of our district residents, will provide the concrete steps necessary to keep Roseville Area Schools on the path toward our distant goal of "Quality Teaching and Learning for All." Superintendent's Recommendation: I recommend that the School Board approve a composite recommendation of the above "mileposts and cornerstones" and embed them in the District goals, the building goals and the Superintendent's yearly and long-term goals. � VIII-B
