Orion Growth Plan
Orion Alternative Elementary School is embarking on a comprehensive growth planning initiative for the 2026-27 school year.
During the 2024-25 school year, the Orion Growth Plan Committee, comprising parents and school staff, will lead this effort, ensuring the school continues to thrive and meet the needs of its students.
Committee Objective
The objective of the Orion Growth Plan Committee is to develop a strategic plan for the 2026-27 school year that addresses the future functioning of Orion Alternative Elementary School. The committee will explore various aspects including enrollment history, facility needs, potential costs to the district, and community engagement to ensure the school continues to provide high-quality education through its unique Parent Co-Op and Mandarin Immersion programs.
The Orion Growth Plan Committee is committed to ensuring that Orion Alternative Elementary School continues to provide an exceptional educational experience for its students. The committee will develop a robust proposal to Superintendent Dr. John Baker that reflects the needs and aspirations of the entire school community.
Superintendent Baker is scheduled to present the Committee’s proposal to the Board of Trustees in spring of 2025. Once approved by the Board, the plan would be implemented in 2026-27.
Progress of the Committee's Work
The committee will meet five times during the 2024-25 school year. The Orion Alternative community is invited to visit this page on the RCSD website to learn about the progress of the committee's work. A summary of each meeting will be posted below and shared to all families by Principal Chen. Look for these updates in the Orion Gazette.
