Always Learning was developed in phases. This plan follows our San Antonio ISD Trustees' commitment to student outcomes through an inclusive and powerful declaration statement and an ambitious set of goals and guardrails. In November 2022, San Antonio ISD leadership spent three weeks building out the first draft of Always Learning. A coaching team of more than 50 staff members — across campuses and the district — began reading and editing the draft, line by line, in December 2022.
In January 2023, we brought the plan forward for extensive feedback from all of our employees – at every school and in our departments. After staff input, we presented the updated plan to our broader familia of students and their families, as well as community and business leaders. In February 2023, we presented the plan to the SAISD Board of Trustees.
Now a Children's Cabinet comprising a cross section of educators, community and business leaders, parents and students is helping us oversee the work to ensure continuity in the common pursuit of doing what is best for our students.
