Fulfilling a promise he made upon his arrival, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell tonight presented a scorecard to accompany Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ new Strategic Plan, providing anyone wishing to do so with an easy way to track the school system’s progress toward the plan’s goals.
“It is critically important that everyone involved in our school system not only know what the goals in the Strategic Plan are, but what we are doing to attain those goals,” Dr. Bedell said. “People can’t help us get to where we want to go if they don’t know where we are.”
Members of Dr. Bedell’s team presented the scorecard in detail to the Board during a public workshop tonight. The scorecard contains items for every goal in each of the five priority areas in the plan. Data on the scorecard items will be updated as it becomes available. The 2023-2024 school year is being used for baseline data on the scorecards.
Scorecard items can be found on AACPS’ Strategic Plan website, www.aacps.org/strategicplan. The website can be translated into multiple language to accommodate those for whom English is not their first language.
