104 POLICY: MISSION STATEMENT
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to establish a clear statement of the purpose for which the school district exists.
II. GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY
The school board believes that a mission statement should be adopted. The mission statement should be based on the beliefs and values of the community, should direct any change effort and should be the basis on which decisions are made. The school board, on behalf of and with extensive participation by the community, should develop a consensus among its members regarding the nature of the enterprise the school board governs, the purposes it serves, the constituencies it should consider, including student representation, and the results it intends to produce.
III. MISSION STATEMENT
“The mission of Robbinsdale Area Schools is to inspire and educate all learners to develop their unique potential and positively contribute to their community."
IV. REVIEW
The school board will direct the administration to conduct a comprehensive review of the district mission statement, vision, and values of the community every five years for strategic planning purposes. In order to be responsive to changing needs, the superintendent or the board may request, outside of the five year period, a review of any parts of the strategic plan to ensure the document reflects the district’s priorities, values and long-term goals.
