Background on the Strategic Plan Process
The 2018-24 Strategic Plan aims to reflect our community’s values and expectations for APS, and help ensure that our schools can create new opportunities and meet the evolving needs of students. The Steering Committee has been working since Fall 2017 to develop this plan and represents a broad cross-section of perspectives and interests of staff, parents, students, and other community members.
Community input has been critical to this process. Elements of the plan—such as mission and vision statements, core values, goals, and strategies—have been rolled out along the way and, at each point, input from community members has been taken into account to better define rough drafts of each section. At this final stage, the committee and APS hope for continued broad participation from the larger community.
