100 Day Entry Plan
Dr. Shepherd 100-Day Entry Plan
As I step into my role as Superintendent, I am filled with a deep sense of responsibility and excitement. Leading our dynamic district is a privilege I do not take lightly, and I am committed to embarking on this journey with openness and dedication.
My 100-day plan, “Discovering Pflugerville,” aims to establish a transparent, inclusive, and forward-thinking administration. This plan involves familiarizing myself with our schools’ current status, immersing myself in the community, and building relationships that will drive us toward collective success.
At the heart of this initiative is a comprehensive listening tour, where I will directly engage with our students, parents, educators, staff, and community members to gather insights. These insights will inform our immediate priorities and lay the groundwork for a strategic approach that aligns with our community’s aspirations and challenges. My approach will be deliberate and purposeful, ensuring that each interaction contributes to a deeper understanding of our shared goals and the obstacles we must overcome.
Aligned with Pflugerville ISD’s objectives, the plan focuses on enhancing communication, improving student outcomes, and fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. By integrating our community’s diverse perspectives, we will develop policies and initiatives that reflect the needs and values of all stakeholders. This inclusive approach is vital as it fosters a sense of belonging and investment in our district’s future.
Outlined below are some of the structured activities and targeted outcomes for the first 100 days of my tenure. Each phase of this plan is designed to build upon the last, ensuring a smooth transition and a solid foundation for our future endeavors.
Thank you for your support as we embark on this journey together.
Sincerely,
Dr. Quintin Shepherd
Superintendent
Pflugerville ISD
Entry Plan
ENTRY PLAN PURPOSE
The purpose of the entry plan is to chart the course for the transition as the Superintendent of Pflugerville Independent School District. The plan includes goals, expectations and deliverables that will be met within the first 100 days. The plan will codify the process used to engage each facet of the organization while listening and learning. The entry plan is organized in three phases after pre-entry. The phases are interdependent and will overlap. Progress and feedback will be shared with the Board and community for each phase.
During the pre-entry phase the Superintendent will identify a transition team to collect and disseminate information that will assist with a seamless transition. The information provided will include current documents, data and an overview from each executive leadership team member. The transition team will synthesize information from all stakeholder sessions and make recommendations as determined.
ENTRY PLAN GUIDING QUESTIONS
The entry plan offers opportunities to listen and learn while establishing relationships across the district community. Each stakeholder has a unique perspective. In capturing the thoughts and perspectives, stakeholders will be asked to engage with at least two questions in mind:
- What do you love about Pflugerville ISD?
- What things would you like the district to improve on?
