Why does it appear that Pearland ISD is flying by the seat of its pants (reacting to what happens) instead of following some sort of “master” plan?
Pearland ISD has a Master Plan for education. This plan is reviewed and revised each year. The District Improvement Plan is available online. The District Improvement Plan was approved at Dec. 8 2009 (http://www.pearlandisd.org/files/filesystem/12-08-09_agen.pdf) (p. 61) board meeting. When the board of trustees approves a decision or change in direction, the district implements a communication plan for these decisions and changes. We know that parents are most comfortable with their campuses. So Pearland ISD chooses to first communicate through the campuses. Principals distribute information through newsletters sent by students as well as published online. In addition, the District places all pertinent information on the Pearland ISD web site. Other avenues of communication include: Audio Files of board meetings, District Profile, Connect-ED automated telephone system, e-News (electronic newsletter), Press Releases, The Progress and Twitter.
