Strategic Plan: 2018-2025

During the 2017-2018 school year, Decatur Public Schools engaged in the process of creating a Strategic Plan to guide the work of the District throughout the next five years. Our philosophy is that the plan should reflect the partnership between the community and the school district. District administration and staff, along with Board of Education members, students, parents, local business leaders, elected officials, and other community members came together to develop the plan. In the Summer of 2022, we revisited the Strategic Plan to refresh, revitalize, and realign the plan District-wide, as well as move it forward through the year 2025.

The goal of the Strategic Plan remains to provide focus and a driving force for the District's work as we continue to support, revise, and develop new programs, resources, and initiatives for students. Our intent is that everyone in the District understands the Strategic Plan and how it affects the work they do to help accomplish the established goals. We all play an integral role in the plan’s success.

We are especially appreciative of the students, staff, and community members who took the opportunity to provide input in creating the plan. Our goal remains to honor that work, while moving the Strategic Plan into the future.
