Reimagine Rdale Roundup – Feb. 7, 2025

Vision 2030 Team convenes for the first time

The journey to reimagine Robbinsdale Area Schools officially launched this week as the Reimagine Rdale: Vision 2030 Team held its first meeting on Jan. 29.

The 46-person team, representing a diverse cross-section of our community, spent the evening studying Rdale’s current landscape—diving into facilities, enrollment, student achievement, and strategic planning.

Key themes from the first meeting:

✔ Acknowledging Reality: Recognizing both the strengths and challenges of the district.
✔ Hope and Creativity: A shared excitement about bold, imaginative thinking.
✔ Student-Centered Approach: Prioritizing decisions that best serve students.
✔ Support for Staff: Recognizing that a strong educational system relies on supported educators.
✔ Long-Term Sustainability: Committing to solutions that stand the test of time.

Superintendent Dr. Teri Staloch shared her excitement about the group's potential:
"The energy in this room is incredible. This is a team that believes in our students, in our educators, and in the power of reimagining what’s possible."
