Fiscal Year 2007 Budget
When the School Board adopted the 2005-2011 Strategic Plan, Arlington Public Schools officially set in place a blueprint for the next six years. Crafted through the dedicated work and response from countless parents and citizens, the new plan builds on the encouraging results from the previous six-year plan to establish a new framework within which the entire school system will work over the coming years to serve Arlington’s children and families even better. The plan promises continuation of those initiatives that have improved student learning, enhanced by changes that will build on and make those initiatives more effective. The FY 2007 Budget constitutes the financial expression of our 2005-2011 Strategic Plan.
