Agenda Item Summary: The Equity for All 2025 five-year strategic plan was adopted by the School Board on June 26, 2020 and serves as the roadmap for ACPS through 2025. An annual revision process is conducted each spring to review and refine the plan as Equity for All was designed to be a living and breathing plan for supporting continuous improvement within the division. Draft proposed revisions were shared with the School Board at the May 19, 2022 meeting. Based on Board feedback and follow-up with the relevant committee members three minor additional adjustments were made.
Background: The Code of Virginia § 22.1-253.13:6 provides that each local school board shall adopt a division-wide comprehensive, unified, long-range plan based on data collection, an analysis of the data, and how the data will be utilized to improve classroom instruction and student achievement. The plan is to be developed with staff and community involvement and is to include, or be consistent with, all other division-wide plans required by state and federal laws and regulations. Each local school board shall review the plan biennially and adopt any necessary revisions. ACPS Board policy, AF - Comprehensive Plan, implements the Code of Virginia’s requirement. The Equity for All 2025 strategic plan is a living, breathing, and growing document. The Department of Accountability and Research developed an annual revision process to support the idea that ACPS should be responsive to shifting needs and emergent priorities throughout the life of the strategic plan. A key aspect of the annual revision process was the development of a diverse committee, including staff, School Board members, city staff, and parent representation to work with Goal Leaders and Strategy Managers on proposed strategic plan changes. This committee, the Strategic Plan Annual Review Committee (SPARC), worked to ensure revisions are aligned with the vision, mission, and core values of our strategic plan and prioritized equity and pandemic recovery efforts.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends the School Board adopt the attached Equity for All 2025 Strategic Plan Revisions.
