What is the Strategic Plan?
The Strategic Plan is our path to achieving four main goals between the fall of 2022 and the spring of 2027. You can think of the Strategic Plan as the lesson plan for the entire district.
For each of the four goals, MPS determined four to five strategies to implement – 19 strategies total.
To keep MPS's work focused, every school year MPS prioritizes and dedicates more resources to five of the 19 strategies.
Four to five appointed MPS staff members report progress on their assigned prioritized strategy in the quarterly Committee of the Whole School Board meetings.
