Through the direction of the Superintendent, the strategic plan is reviewed every few years with a complete revision every five years. The complete revision will take place this fall with the establishment of a 2012–2017 Strategic Plan.

To assure that the 2012–2017 plan is congruent with current and future needs, the 2011 Strategic Steering Committee will solicit input from parents, teachers, students, administrators, auxiliary staff, business, and civic leaders in order to develop the district's strategic plan.

Throughout the planning process, progress will be monitored and communicated to ensure continuous improvement. A new community-driven strategic plan will be presented to the Board of Education in January 2012 for final approval in February 2012. Once approved, the new plan will be implemented over the five year period of 2012 through 2017.
