The first step of building our strategic plan, was reevaluating, and clarifying our mission, vision and values statements.
Using the Board of Education Global Ends statement as our guide, the district adopted a mission that describes why we exist, values that explains what we believe and how we behave, and vision statement that describes what the future looks like for our district. Together they set the direction for our Strategic Plan.
