Strategic Plan 2023-2027

The new CPS Strategic Plan leverages the framework of the Board's Goals & Guardrails, new vision and mission statements, and forecast. This plan clarifies and defines the work needed to achieve the Goals & Guardrails approved by the Board of Education. The plan unifies the district and community under a shared approach and practice while engaging the community and galvanizing support and resources for the district. It also will assist and guide budgetary decisions and resource allocations, shape the overall direction and day-to-day work of CPS.

The Goals & Guardrails approved by the Board of Education is the framework of the plan and supports the theory of action to define the strategies.

Work Team Process

60 school-based district and community stakeholders volunteered to participate in the work teams.
Five work teams have convened since February 16, 2023 to develop and refine the strategies and actions.
Four teams began their work based on the Goals & Guardrails.

The work teams began with a "Keep, Start, Stop" activity to illuminate the broad strategies and actions needed. Then they thought through how stakeholders need to be supported in strategies and actions. This work led to the multiple revisions resulting in the draft being shared.
