[0:05] - I am Terry Staloch, [0:06] and I'm proud to serve as the superintendent [0:08] of Robbinsdale Area Schools. [0:10] We are a community deeply committed [0:12] to the success of every learner. [0:15] As our mission states, [0:16] we strive to inspire and educate all learners [0:19] to develop their unique potential [0:21] and to positively contribute to their community. [0:24] I'm excited to share an ambitious [0:26] and transformative undertaking [0:28] that will shape the future of our district. [0:30] Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030. [0:34] This is more than a plan. [0:35] It's a collective effort to co-create with our community [0:38] as we envision a brighter, more inclusive future [0:41] for our students, families and staff. [0:44] At the heart of Reimagine Rdale is the Vision team, [0:47] a group of 46 individuals [0:49] who represent the rich diversity of our students [0:52] and the geography of our district. [0:53] This team will be working diligently [0:56] over the next eight months [0:57] to analyze every aspect of our district, [1:00] from academic visioning to finances [1:02] and enrollment to facilities [1:03] while incorporating input and ideas from our community. [1:07] Their work will culminate [1:09] in a set of thoughtful, actionable recommendations [1:12] that they will present to our school board [1:14] at the end of this process early next fall. [1:17] To inform this work, [1:19] we launched two foundational efforts, [1:21] a comprehensive survey, [1:23] and an extensive community engagement campaign. [1:27] The survey conducted in January and February of 2025 [1:31] has been a critical tool for gathering feedback [1:33] from thousands of voices in our community. [1:36] We ask questions designed to spark meaningful dialogue, [1:40] focusing on the values, needs, [1:41] and hopes that y'all have for our district. [1:44] Your responses painted a detailed picture [1:46] of what matters most to our students, families and staff, [1:50] and where we have opportunities to grow. [1:54] Community engagement is [1:55] and continues to be an equally vital part of this process. [1:59] Through April, we are hosting forums, [2:01] listening sessions, and events [2:03] where we connect directly with you. [2:05] These conversations go beyond the numbers, [2:08] allowing us to hear your stories, [2:10] understand your challenges, [2:11] and dream with you about the possibilities for our students [2:15] and for Robbinsdale Area Schools. [2:18] The insights gathered from these efforts [2:20] are shaping our path forward. [2:23] The Vision team is using these findings [2:25] as a foundation to explore innovative solutions, [2:28] align our resources with our values, [2:30] and ensure we're providing what our students want, [2:33] need and deserve. [2:35] Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 [2:37] is about more than shaping our schools. [2:40] It's about shaping lives. [2:41] It's about providing equitable opportunities, [2:44] fostering innovatio…
