MPS Strategic Plan

What are we doing?

With the help of Midland-based strategic planning consulting firm Omni Tech International, MPS  has launched a comprehensive strategic planning process that will shape its direction for the next five years or more. We will develop and refine a set of goals, objectives, and measurable outcomes for the district with input from the community (you!). Topics we'll tackle include everything from curriculum and facilities to student activities and the skills and knowledge an MPS student possesses upon graduation. We're reviewing all district operations and the way we support our students, families, staff, and community going forward.

Why are we doing this?

When we know what we do well and where we can do better, we can better support our students and deliver the best possible educational experience. The strategic planning process will identify our strengths, bring up opportunities and challenges we can address, help us dream big for what, and figure out what results we want to see and how we measure them. A strategic plan creates a unified framework that will drive long-term decision-making for the district. (It's like a roadmap that leads us to where we want to go.)

How can I get involved?

A strategic plan needs to reflect the voices and priorities of those it serves—and that's where the public comes in! Throughout its development, the strategic planning process will engage a diverse range of Midlanders, including students, families, staff, community organizations, and local business partners. Community input, combined with a detailed analysis of the educational landscape, will help create the plan's details. In November and December 2025, MPS provided input opportunities via a series of in-person public input sessions at various school buildings and online surveys for students, staff, and parents/guardians and the general public.
