Strategic Plan

Strategic Planning 2025 is underway. Over the next couple of months, the planning and visioning for our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan will provide a framework to guide decisions and behaviors, provide common goals, and clear direction for everything that happens in USD116.

We need your input on the current state of the District, to understand all perspectives moving forward and set future Strategic Planning priorities, so everyone knows the focus of where we are going as a District and what we are trying to achieve.

A new Mission: WHY our organization exists
