PARENT FEEDBACK HOW WILL WE GET THERE? • What are we currently doing well in GCS that you think we should continue in our next strategic plan? (What should we keep?) • What isn’t going well, or what could use more focus? (What should we drop? Do less of? Do more of? Do better with?) • What’s getting in the way of our progress? How could we be more efficient and effective with the resources we have?
