- District #61 Strategic Planning & Master Facility Plan

Developing a Vision for the Future of DPS
-
Decatur Public Schools is committed to enhancing educational success for our district through a comprehensive strategic planning and master facility plan. Beginning in October 2024, a dedicated committee—comprising students, staff, community partners, educational collaborators, and business leaders—will work collaboratively to craft a road map that addresses the needs and aspirations of the Decatur school community. This inclusive stakeholder group will ensure that all voices are heard and valued. In May 2025, the strategic plan and master facility development planning team will bring a final recommendation to be presented to the Board of Education.
Together, we are shaping a brighter future for our school community, the staff, and students of District #61. View the list of Committee Members.
