  • STRATEGIC PLAN OVERVIEW

     

    INTRODUCTION
    The 2025-2030 Richmond County School System District Strategic Plan provides a clear and focused direction for continuous improvement. It identifies four strategic themes designed to accelerate both district-wide progress and student achievement. These high-leverage focus areas are aligned with the renewed school system’s vision, mission, and core beliefs, and they guide the ongoing improvement efforts of schools and district-level departments. Resources are strategically prioritized and aligned with critical initiatives to support the achievement of the school system’s objectives. The Strategic Plan is the result of a process developed by the District Strategic Thinking and Planning Core Focus Group with assistance from Cognia.

     

    The District Strategic Thinking and Planning Core Focus Group included representation from a cross section of students, parents, local community members, departments, school-level administrators, and district-level administrators.
