2024-25 Superintendent's Entry Plan

January 2025 Summary Report

NTPS Community,

It has been a productive and engaging first six months as your superintendent! Thanks to each of you who have taken time to share your thoughts. It was helpful to hear about strengths, challenges, and priorities from so many in our community, including:

  • City and county law enforcement officials
  • Family members on the Parent Advisory Council
  • Labor partners
  • Leaders from the City of Lacey, Thurston County, and the Nisqually Tribe
  • Leaders of faith-based organizations
  • Leaders of local higher education institutions
  • Leaders of local nonprofit and service organizations
  • Retired NTPS employees
  • Staff at all 24 NTPS schools and each district department
  • Student Advisory Council members and individual students

This summary captures the key themes I heard in these conversations. At NTPS, we celebrate our successes and continuously seek areas of opportunity for our district. We can be proud of the high-quality education we provide our 15,000 students, and I look forward to building upon our strengths.

I welcome your input any time. Please continue to reach out!

Sincerely,

Troy M. Oliver
NTPS Superintendent
