• Strategic Plan 2019-2023

    There is a legacy of excellence in Plano ISD, with high aspirations for all students—from pre-k, through graduation and beyond. To continue that legacy, Plano ISD began a year-long strategic planning process to set the course for the district's future. Drawing on the collective experiences and knowledge of a diverse and representative group of district stakeholders was an important part of the in-depth, self-examination process. The Plano ISD Board of Trustees adopted the 2019-2023 Strategic Plan on April 9, 2019.

Strategic Planning Process

  • The strategic planning process started with the Board of Trustees in spring 2018. Board members worked together to develop beliefs, a vision and pillars. A 75-member strategic planning committee, comprising educators, parents, students, trustees and community members, then worked to develop the plan's mission, objectives and strategies. Additionally, 124 stakeholders serving on 11 action teams developed action plans in order to operationalize the strategic plan. After board approval on April 9, the plan was unveiled to the community at Plano ISD's first-ever State of the District Address on April 25, 2019.

    • The foundation of excellence in the Plano Independent School District has been built brick-by-brick, decade-by-decade. It was constructed by ordinary citizens with extraordinary vision, talent, courage and leadership. The builders were bold administrators, far-sighted trustees, dedicated teachers and involved community members determined to provide every child with the skills necessary to be lifelong learners  and successful contributors to society. Each one demonstrated heroism in establishing an outstanding school system.
