These 90-minute facilitated Focus Groups aimed to build a deeper understanding of each topic and its implications for the Smithville School District. A key part of the strategic planning process, the Focus Groups helped to synthesize community and district staff input from the Community Survey and the Think-Tank, and explored a set of crucial questions. The input from the Focus Groups are critical to developing the Strategic Pillars and actions that will be included in the final Smithville School District Strategic Action Plan.
