About the Strategic Plan Process

From 2020-22, we embarked on a strategic planning process to help guide our priorities moving forward. This collaborative process included input from a variety of stakeholders, including district and building administrators, the Board of Education, students, staff, parents and community leaders through focus groups, surveys and a dedicated design team.

The design team engaged in several sessions to dialog about effective and research-based educational trends and to create a shared understanding of future goals for our district. This included building on past work in the district, such as our Leading the Rebound strategies, the District Diversity Plan, our partnership with the Institute of Applied Creativity for Transformation at the University of Dayton, and the Master Facilities Plan, among others. The design team identified a vision, core principles and focus areas to help us meet our mission of empowering, challenging and supporting every learner to grow every day.

We are excited to share our future-focused strategic plan with the community, and we are grateful for your partnership and commitment to providing excellent educational opportunities for children in Centerville-Washington Township.
