2026-2032 Strategic Plan
A new strategic planning cycle begins next year for Roanoke County Public Schools, and we are updating how we share our goals and progress with the community.
What’s new in the proposed plan:
- Continued focus on the C-Change Framework as the foundation for our work
- Greater transparency: Key performance indicators will be publicly available so stakeholders can track progress over time
- More data-driven approach: We will identify and monitor the most important measures of success used by leading organizations
- Ongoing stakeholder input: Annual surveys will track perceptions of safety, instructional quality, and overall satisfaction
For comparison, please see our previous strategic plan.
Examples of the new format are below.
Are we on track? Please help us by filling out a brief survey
