Strategic Plan and Key Performance Indicators

Strategic Plan and Key Performance Indicators

 

The FCSD school community has high standards and expectations for its schools. The District believes that each and every Fairport student must have access to an educational program that supports their academic and social emotional growth. The District’s Five-Year Strategic Plan, introduced in 2019 and adapted in 2022, outlines measurable, data-driven goals to mobilize our schools in order to prepare students to graduate from high school Future-Ready.

Since the introduction of the adapted Strategic Plan in the 2022-2023 school year, the District’s School Improvement Team has worked to develop outcomes based on the key indicators of progress outlined in the Plan. The District is honoring its commitment to using data-driven practices to monitor student achievement and success and has identified five priorities for the 2024-2025 school year including:

  • School improvement initiatives
  • Aligning school start times to research, K-12
  • Facilities planning
  • 2026-2027 Consolidation of Minerva DeLand and Fairport High School
  • Fiscal responsibility

These priorities are directly aligned with the adapted Strategic Plan and will be topics of discussion for the FCSD Board of Education throughout the 2024-2025 school year.

Our Key Performance Indicators align directly to the Five-Year Strategic Plan, the Board of Education’s Vision and Mission and the District’s commitment to our students, families, staff and community. 

We look forward to communicating our progress and sharing how we are using this information to inform our Strategic Plan.
