Turn it Around

Review the case study titled “Turn it Around”, in which Dr. P. De Gogy, a newly hired superintendent of a small rural school district, must develop a plan to address and correct a myriad of issues and challenges within the district. Next, imagine that you are Dr. Gogy and are preparing to present the plan you have developed to the school board.

Write a ten to fifteen (10-15) slide presentation in which you:

1. Determine the main challenges that the Rocky Road School District is currently facing. Develop a three (3) year strategic plan to address these challenges. Examine the actions you will take to address each of these challenges.
2. Identify the main resources that you will need in each of the following areas in order to implement the plan – economic, social / community, political, and staffing.
3. Take a position on whether or not it is feasible for you to turn this school district around within the length of your five (5) year contract. Provide support and a rationale for your position.
4. Use at least four (4) peer-reviewed academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and many Websites do not qualify as academic resources. Peer-reviewed academic resources refer to articles and scholarly journals that are reviewed by a panel of experts or peers in the field.
