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. At this time, we have online survey option and an in-person listening session option.
Online Survey Opportunities
Online strategic planning surveys are currently available for current MPS students and school parents/guardians and community members. Click the images below to participate in the right survey for you!
In-Person Listening Sessions
If you'd prefer to talk instead of type, a listening session is for you. You'll be asked more detailed questions than in the online survey and have the opportunity to interact with others.
Parent/guardian listening sessions are open to parents or guardians of current MPS students only. Community listening sessions are open to anyone living in our district! You can find all upcoming sessions in the black box below.
Please note: To ensure all voices are heard, listening sessions are capped at 50 attendees. Registration is required. To RSVP, click on a session below, then click the "More Info" button.
