Minneapolis Public Schools MPS is in the process of creating a new district strategic plan for 2014-2020. Last fall, we conducted an initial round of stakeholder engagement opportunities with our internal groups (e.g. parents, teachers, etc.) We used what we heard from those engagements, as well as guidance from MPS leadership and an extensive review of our current state data to create a draft strategic plan. We will be sharing this draft publicly at the Board of Education meeting on May 13th. Following this presentation, we want to reach out to both internal AND external stakeholder groups to get feedback on the draft plan. For external partners, this would include a brief presentation providing an overview of the plan (with time for Q&A) and structured questions for feedback: How do you see your work as being aligned/not aligned to this plan? and What would we need to do in order to make this plan successful?
Proposed Strategic Plan 2020 Every Child College and Career Ready A message from Dr. Johnson Dear Minneapolis Public Schools community, At MPS, we believe in the potential of all students to succeed. With our current strategic plan, we laid out a vision of every child college and career ready, and while we have made good progress, we are not there yet. The time is right to engage with our community, recommit to our shared goals and define how we are going to accelerate our progress. This is the work of creating our strategic plan through 2020. I hope you will add your voice to the creation of a shared vision for the future. Helping our students succeed takes the commitment and dedicated efforts of all of us teachers, principals and staff, parents and families and our community partners. MPS is now in the process of bringing this draft plan out to the community for review, so that the Board of Education can vote on a final plan this summer. I encourage you to take the survey about the proposed plan by visiting http://svy.mk/1ukya0w. You can also send any additional questions or comments to MPSStrategicPlan@mpls.k12.mn.us.
