Strategic Plan

We will have high expectations, challenging learning experiences, and strong teaching practices to ensure all students have access to an excellent education.

We will know we are successful if:

• Educators consistently foster a culture of high expectations and growth within their classrooms and learning environments.
• Students meet academic goals.
• Student growth is celebrated across schools and the district.
• Students have access to resources that support their growth in all content areas and classes.
• Students are engaged in their learning and see real-world applications.
• Educators and staff receive professional learning designed to enhance their efficacy.

We will prioritize meaningful educational opportunities for all students.

We will know we are successful if:

• Underrepresented groups have increased access to advanced course offerings and learning opportunities
• Students and their families have choices in their education through neighborhood schools, responsive community schools, pathways, and alternative learning.
• Schools offer a multi-faceted portfolio of curriculum and course offerings for students

We will build connection and belonging by using clear communication to engage and inform the community.

We will know we are successful if:

• FNSBSD Community members feel informed on and know how to access relevant school and district information.
• FNSBSD Community members have clear opportunities to give feedback on school and district policies.
• Family members are updated on and engaged in their child’s learning and school activities.
• FNSBSD Community members feel connected to their schools and the district as a whole.
• Members of the FNSBSD community (students, staff, families) feel included and valued in the district.

We will invest time and resources to create a team culture of continuous learning and growth, where we value staff and celebrate their accomplishments and contributions to student success.

We will know we are successful if:

• We attract and retain highly qualified staff across our schools and district.
• Professional learning for staff is engaging and meaningful.
• Educators feel empowered to implement best practices in their classrooms and learning environments.
• Staff feel FNSBSD is an exemplary place to work.
