Strategic Planning
We Are Lakewood
Thank you to everyone who took part in the survey asking about our community's three strategic priorities outlined in the Lakewood Compact. The Strategic Planning Committee met on October 29 for its first meeting to discuss each priority and brainstorm what each priority might look like for Lakewood. The committee will request additional feedback from families and our community in March.
