Strategic Plan

The plan includes strategies designed to boost student achievement, increase parental and community involvement, improve district service, increase the teacher retention rate and improve school safety and discipline. Some of these strategies will be launched in the coming months, while others will be launched over the next two to three years.

The plan is based in part on the input of nearly 4,000 parents, students, employees and community members who sent in comments and suggestions through the “Mo Wants to Know” campaign. Information captured through the campaign and the superintendent’s listening and learning tour—along with the Board of Education’s mission and core values—guided the development of the strategic plan.

This plan is divided into eight key areas: improving academic achievement; supportive parent and community involvement; strategic human resource management; respectful and responsive service; safe schools and character development; optimal operations; transformational technology; and, clear baseline and equitable standards. The focus on these areas will give GCS an opportunity to do what no other school district in the country has accomplished: achieve education excellence for every child in every school.
