Mar. 3—HUNTSVILLE — Windham School District, serving students incarcerated in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, recently unveiled its 2025-2029 Strategic Plan, a comprehensive, five-year roadmap designed to drive the district's goals and initiatives forward.
Alongside this plan, the district introduced a refreshed vision and mission statement, highlighting the commitment to being a leader in education, while fostering lifelong student excellence and motivation.
Windham's newly refined vision and mission better reflect what the district strives toward daily.
Vision: To be a leader in education by inspiring excellence and transforming lives.
Mission: To guide, motivate and empower students through innovative educational pathways. These changes certify that the district prioritizes the academic, career and individual growth of students to assist them in becoming the best version of themselves.
"Windham is excited to implement an improved plan, vision and mission that focuses on advancing the goals of the district not only as it relates to our educators and students, but also for the communities we serve," Windham Superintendent Kristina J. Hartman said in a news release. "Our 2025-2029 Strategic Plan sets a bold course for the future, reaffirming our commitment to excellence in education and ensuring that Windham remains a leader in empowering students to achieve their full potential."
Windham's 2025-2029 Strategic Plan is dedicated to the delivery of high-quality instruction to students while supporting their transition into apprenticeship, postsecondary education programs or employment. To achieve this, the district aims to recruit and retain highly qualified teachers and staff, enhance the integration of technology in classrooms and strengthen effective communication. Windham plans to accomplish these goals through continual program improvement and annual progress evaluation.
The updated Strategic Plan champions improved internet connectivity for students and educators, increasing technology usage and outcomes in the classroom and workforce as the intended result.
Additionally, Windham will maximize pre- and post-reentry employment resources for students and graduates by implementing employment and career-centered strategies within the classroom and the community. Furthermore, the district plans to increase the teacher fill rate, currently at 80%.
Finally, the 2025-2029 Strategic Plan outlines Windham's goal to enhance communication at the student, internal and stakeholder levels. This will be accomplished by focusing on person-centered language, improving the flow of communication and promoting awareness at the governmental and community levels.
"Our goal is to foster clear and open communication on all levels, ensuring everyone feels heard and supported," Windham Division Director of Instruction Kevin Sawnick said in the release. "Not only that, but by placing an emphasis on person-centered language, we create a more respectful environment and empower our students to see their potential and take meaningful steps toward achieving their goals."
Windham's implementation of its 2025-2029 Strategic Plan represents a significant rise in educational excellence across all campuses. By focusing on innovative initiatives, the district will enhance the quality of programs offered to students. With a steadfast dedication to providing future-focused education, Windham is poised to create lasting, positive impacts on students, their families and communities throughout the state, the release said.

GeoPark Adopts Limited-Duration Shareholder Rights Plan
BOGOTA, Colombia, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GeoPark Limited ("GeoPark" or the "Company") (NYSE: GPRK), a leading independent energy company with over 20 years of successful operations across Latin America, today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has unanimously adopted a limited-duration shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"), effective immediately and that will expire in 364 days. The Company's Board, in consultation with its advisors, adopted the Rights Plan to protect value for GeoPark and all its stockholders given the unusually rapid and significant accumulation of the Company's common stock by a single stockholder. The Rights Plan is similar to plans adopted by other publicly traded companies and is intended to protect the long-term interests of GeoPark's shareholders and maximize the value of their investment. The Rights Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that any shareholder gains undue influence or control of the Company through open market accumulation, without paying all shareholders an appropriate control premium or without providing the Board sufficient time to make informed judgments and take actions that are in the best interest of the Company and all of its shareholders. Key Terms of the Rights Plan Under the Rights Plan, the rights will become exercisable if an entity, person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 12% or more of GeoPark's outstanding common shares (including derivatives) in a transaction not approved by the Board. In the event that the rights become exercisable due to the triggering ownership threshold being crossed, each right will entitle its holder (other than the person, entity or group triggering the Rights Plan, whose rights will become void and will not be exercisable) to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, additional common shares having a then-current market value of twice the exercise price of the right. Additional Information Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC is serving as GeoPark's financial advisor and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP is serving as legal counsel.
