It has been three years since Duval County Public Schools first introduced and implemented our
Strategic Plan aimed to build Duval County into one of the top performing school districts in the country.
The
plan provides the district with guidance and direction to ensure that all internal and external stakeholders in the district have a clear understanding of what we expect to achieve and how we expect to achieve it. It also helps assess the effectiveness of our action plans, programs and resource allocations to see what we should continue, discontinue or modify.
We have seen ample progress in our six goals during these few years, and I am pleased with the direction we are heading. Based on the data presented, 77% of the objectives in the
Strategic Plan were either achieved or improved from the previous year.
This year we will continue to focus on our students’ reading techniques and make sure we give them access to all the resources necessary to develop extensive reading comprehension skills. We are continuously reviewing our students’ progress to determine their areas of strength and areas that need improvement to ensure our students are receiving the most effective level of teaching.
With help from parents, teachers and the community we can continue to make great strides in achieving the objectives derived out of our six overarching goals. Each year we are finding more innovative and creative ways to provide our students with the means to excel in post-secondary education or the workforce using the fundamental tools learned in our schools.
We are encouraged by the positive results of the
Strategic Plan and we are confident that we will be able to maintain this level of achievement over the next several years.
