2025-2028 Strategic Plan & Superintendent's Entry Plan

Strategic Plan

Guided by a three-year strategic plan and the principles of The Leader in Me, we are working to create schools where every student is empowered to lead their own learning. This plan was shaped by the voices of our staff, families, and community and reflects a shared belief in the potential of every child.

At the heart of our work is the Envisioned Student Experience—a daily commitment to ensuring that students feel supported, receive high-quality instruction, take ownership of their learning, and are surrounded by adults who set high expectations and lead by example.

Our strategic priorities are aligned to this vision:

  • Academic Experience focuses on delivering engaging instruction, expanding access to advanced coursework, and preparing students for life after graduation.

  • Instructional Leadership and Capacity supports educators through coaching, collaboration, and aligned planning systems.

  • Talent Development ensures that our students are taught by educators who are well-prepared, purpose-driven, and committed to growth.

Across all areas of this work, we are teaching and modeling the 7 Habits—helping students and staff be proactive, begin with the end in mind, and put first things first. We are committed to thinking win-win, listening first, working together, and continuously improving.

This plan is not just about programs or goals. It is about creating a culture where leadership is developed at every level and where students are equipped with the skills and mindset to thrive in any path they choose.

Superintendent's Entry Plan

Dr. Jesica Gore

The 2026-2027 school year will mark my first full year as Superintendent of Snyder ISD. Our 180-day leadership plan builds on the listening and systems work that began last spring and provides a clear path for moving the district’s Strategic Plan forward.

The plan is organized around four pillars:

  • Students: Academic growth, safe and connected schools, student voice, future pathways, and successful transitions

  • Staff: Strong instruction, coaching, mentorship, leadership development, recognition, and employee voice

  • Stakeholders: Family and community partnerships, volunteerism, workforce alignment, and public trust

  • Stewardship: Transparent finances, responsible staffing, safe facilities, and sustainable long-range planning

During September and October, our focus is to listen deeply and turn what we learn into action. We will review early student data, gather feedback from students and staff, strengthen community partnerships, and continue building a clear picture of the district’s long-term financial and facility needs. This plan is intended to be lived, monitored, and adjusted throughout the year. I will remain visible, listen carefully, communicate directly, and report progress honestly.

Our work will be steady. Our expectations will remain high. We will continue working toward strong results while creating opportunities for connection, celebration, and fun across Snyder ISD.
