Strategic Plan Focus Groups
St. Louis Park Public Schools is building its next 5-year strategic plan (2025–2030), and we need your input to ensure it reflects the lived experiences of all families.
While we’ve received valuable input from many community members, we recognize the critical importance of including more perspectives from our Black, Asian, and Indigenous families.
PINK Consulting, LLC invites Black, Asian, and Indigenous families to participate in a confidential focus group to share how the last strategic plan—centered on racial equity—impacted you and your student(s).
Confidential Focus Group Registration Links:
Asian Families: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/teLxzgO7T3qJR8nL-F1jKw
Black Families: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Mx873G7pSZqW6aTPKD1b9A
Indigenous Families: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/yEESUpQOQlugcO_HiTV_Pw
Your feedback is vital to shaping a district culture of belonging, academic rigor, high expectations, and equity for the future.
