What is the Strategic Plan?
The Strategic Plan is MPS’ path to achieving 4 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 4-5 strategies to implement – 19 strategies total.
To keep MPS' work focused, every school year MPS prioritizes and dedicates more resources to 5 of the 19 strategies.
4-5 appointed MPS staff members report progress on their assigned prioritized strategy in the quarterly Committee of the Whole School Board meetings.
