superintendent's message - strategic plan

To parents, students, teachers, principals, staff
and citizens of Duval County:

For the past several months, we have been working with a task force of the Alliance for World Class Education to develop a long-range Strategic Plan.

The plan is a road map for the work of our school district during the next four years. It spells out the board's vision, mission, core beliefs and commitments. It also details six goals and specific measurable strategies to reach them.

In addition to the approved District Strategic Plan, we have created a Supplement with Initiatives and Actions that provides information about how we plan to achieve our objectives. This additional information is meant to help everyone understand some of the specific steps we will be taking to make improvements across all our schools. We created this document to clarify some of the most important steps we are taking, but the document does not contain all of the work that the district and schools will be doing. There are many more steps and a tremendous amount of hard work going on in addition to these actions that will also contribute to the success of our students.

Thank you for your participation and ongoing support of Duval County Public Schools.

Ed Pratt-Dannals
Superintendent
