District 89 Strategic Plan - Superintendent's Overview
The Community Consolidated School District 89 Strategic Plan has recently been revised and updated with the input of district staff, parents, and community members. This planning document will guide the District in its future school improvement efforts.
Learning for Life continues to be the District motto. The work we do in the classrooms will embrace this mission with students. By extending learning into real world applications, our students will continue to be successfully prepared for the next new learning opportunity.
The Strategic Plan contains three goals for continuous improvement:
* High Levels of Student Achievement * High Levels of Satisfaction * Effective Use of Resources
These goals guide school improvement strategies. Each of the goals is further developed into strategies for improvement over the next three years. While some goals give direction to district-wide initiatives, others align building school improvement goals to address student learning.
The Strategic Plan is designed as a road map for future school improvement and accommodating change as conditions necessitate. While this plan defines the District mission, vision/aim, values/beliefs, goals, and strategies, it also gives guidance to a proactive and planned approach to many school improvement initiatives.
We welcome your interest in learning more about the future direction of CCSD89. Please feel free to share any comments or questions about this plan with me, your building principal, or a Board of Education member.
Thank you for supporting Learning for Life in District 89!
