Strategic Plan
During the 2023-24 school year, Downingtown Area School District partnered with Performance Fact and more than 300 students, staff, teachers, administrators, family members and community leaders, to develop an evidence-based, community-informed educational strategic plan. A strategic plan is a comprehensive document that outlines the goals, objectives and strategies of a school district. It serves as a roadmap for the district's future direction and provides a framework for decision-making and resource allocation. A well-crafted strategic plan helps to guide and unify the efforts of all stakeholders.
The finalized report, which will be available June 2024, includes a comprehensive Portrait of a Graduate, specific goals, strategies, measures and a district promise. We will share future progress updates on our website’s dashboard.
Downingtown Area School District: where every student is valued, engaged, and instilled with the confidence and skills for future success.
