Strategic Plan Overview

Purpose:

The Polk County Public Schools Strategic Plan serves as a roadmap for how the district will support students, families, staff, and community. Throughout the strategic planning process input from stakeholders was gathered and summarized to set the direction the district will move over the next five years (2022-2027). The strategic plan for Polk County Public Schools represents the district’s priorities for continuous improvement, while ensuring transparency and accountability. The mission of PCPS is to provide a high-quality education for all students, we are student-centered with all decisions focusing on the students and families we serve. This strategic plan builds on systems within the district while continuing to focus on each student’s unique learning path. We want to ensure that students feel respected, valued, and supported while we work together toward one singular goal: Graduation.
 

Overview:

PCPS has identified five goals that exemplify the future of our district. As a district, we are fully committed to these goals, the implementation of the plan that supports them, and the outcomes developed to measure progress towards them. The District Advisory Committee and various subcommittees will help ensure progress towards district goals occurs through monitoring the strategic plan dashboard which will reflect quarterly data check-in points. As a district, we recognize we cannot address everything at once due to resource availability, but we can be purposeful and targeted in our progress towards goal attainment.

PCPS’s Strategic Plan focuses on five-goals:

  • Goal 1: Student Outcomes
  • Goal 2: Develop Great Teachers and Leaders
  • Goal 3: Engage Family and Community
  • Goal 4: Equitable and Efficient use of Resources
  • Goal 5: Develop the Whole Child
