Strategic Planning - the Next Five Years

Forging a future that fully represents the needs and desires of students, Anne Arundel County Public Schools embarked on the development of a new five-year Strategic Plan in October 2023.

Valuing input from all members of its community at-large, AACPS focused its efforts on the important work of cultivating an environment where students, staff, and the community can belong, grow, and succeed. 

Through the facilitation of Insight Education Group to guide the development of the plan, extensive feedback was gathered from students, parents/guardians, community members, business/organizational partners, and district employees.The feedback via committee meetings, survey, and focus groups directed the district on where to focus its efforts over the next five years and informed the development of AACPS’ new strategic plan.

Developing a roadmap

Community-Driven : Developing a Roadmap

A survey, sent out in October 2023, established a priority list for AACPS to be used for the next five years of planning.

Questions such as the characteristics graduates should have to ensure future success, and an open question about future hopes and dreams for Anne Arundel County Public Schools were included.  Details on responses are available in the meeting reports below.

A Steering Committee comprised of approximately 70 individuals (students, employees, parents, principals, community members) worked for seven months (see below) and was an integral part of the process as the plan was developed.
