Input and feedback was gathered and a number of drafts were developed and reviewed. The Lynden School District Board of Directors and the Lynden School District Administration spent many hours reviewing the information and suggesting amendments to the plan. The final priorities are a direct result of the input and feedback from many stakeholders. The three areas of focus in the plan identify the work that will take place in the Lynden School District. Each of our school's will create an annual School Improvement Plan that reflects the priorities in the strategic plan, as well as its own unique challenges.
