Oskaloosa USD 341 is in the process of creating a Strategic Plan to outline what our district wants to achieve in the future and how we plan to get there. Community involvement is imperative to this process, so we are asking parents, students, staff, and community members to consider completing our initial survey to help us set our major areas of focus. The survey will be open until December 12, 2023.
Follow this link to fill out the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9PCHVGX
After the initial survey is complete, we will also be looking for volunteers to help develop action steps and measurable success criteria to ensure the district is taking clear action steps to achieve goal areas.
Thank you for your continued support of Oskaloosa USD 341.
