Charter School Spring Priority Planning Template

Simplify Spring Semester Planning with Our Priority Template

Spring semester can feel like a whirlwind for charter school leaders. Between testing, re-enrollment, staffing decisions, and professional development, it’s easy for tasks to pile up. That’s why we created the Spring Priority Planning Template, designed to help you organize and tackle your to-do list with confidence.

What’s Inside the Template

This versatile template includes six key tools, each tailored to an essential area of school operations:

Questions to Consider

A checklist to jumpstart your planning. With prompts like “Have we reviewed data?” and “Do we have a testing schedule?” this section helps ensure you’ve thought through the big-picture questions for the semester.

Ops & Maintenance Tracker

Keep operational tasks organized with this priority-based tracker. Assign ownership, set deadlines, and track progress—all in one place.

Re-Enrollment Tracker

Stay on top of re-enrollment with a clear overview of students’ statuses (returning, undecided, or not returning) and important notes about each case.

Staffing Planner

Organize your team’s transitions with a detailed staffing overview. Track rehire decisions, proposed roles, and salary offers, ensuring everyone is ready for the next school year.

Summer Professional Development (PD) Scheduler

Map out your summer PD sessions with a flexible calendar. Plan themes, daily schedules, and team assignments to maximize your training’s impact.

Testing Coordinator

Plan your testing season with ease. Track students, accommodations, and administrator assignments to ensure everything runs smoothly.

How to Use the Template

Step 1: Customize It

This template is just a starting point—tailor it to meet your school’s unique needs. Add or modify columns, update prompts, and insert your team’s specific priorities.

Step 2: Assign Roles and Deadlines

Good planning involves accountability. Assign owners to each task and set realistic deadlines to keep things moving forward.

Step 3: Regularly Review Progress

Use this template as a living document. Schedule regular check-ins with your team to ensure everything stays on track and adapt to any new challenges.

Start Your Second Semester on the Right Foot
