The Dream of Establishing a Vision

I'm the head of the SACS committee Standard 1 on School Mission and Vision. There is no written vision for our school. We have  a mission which plays a part in the beginning of the year professional development. The school director says he'll give 100 lempira to teachers he approaches who can recite the mission from memory. I've never been asked nor heard of anyone being asked. We put a laminated copy of the mission up in our class and that is pretty much the end of it. A couple of years ago I was invited to volunteer to write a new middle school science curriculum. When I brought up questions about alining curricula with philosophy of the school and psychology or our learner, I was told to forget all the Taba-Tyler mumbo-jumbo and just use the Texas State standards. Perhaps needless to say our curricula do not align with our mission.
Anyway, my SACS committee started churning out the answers to the Standard 1 questions about mission and vision and completed our part. Tuesday we had a before school faculty meeting where we were told there is a semi-mandatory Saturday morning meeting to write a school vision. (Semi-mandatory meaning have a very good reason why you can't come.) I immediately sent off the Standard 1 Committee's completed document and asked if there was some kind of flow chart of the process to establish the vision as our committee would have a hard time "hitting the moving target of an evolving school vision". The principal happened into my room soon after I sent the email to chat about upcoming 8th grade sex ed classes. After showing the student permissions and plans for sex ed classes, I asked about the vision process.
The discussion wandered into possibilities that the school is verging on being shut down by the board of directors because it is not financially viable. (We are a satellite campus for a much bigger campus that is in an urban area about 25 miles away and our enrollment is dropping with many families opting for the better facilities at the bigger campus.) He felt confident that we could ignore the financail viability of the school and generate something about a dream for the school that we could get the greater community to "rubber stamp".
I suppose I could word that process so SACS would find it reasonable.
