Danbury Public Schools Strategic Plan   Feedback
To enhance our students' experiences, a District Leadership Team has been developing a Strategic Plan. The goal of the survey is to collect stakeholder feedback. Prior to presenting to the plan to the Board of Education, we would like to incorporate your ideas.

Last school year, the Board of Education approved the Vision and Mission and asked the leadership to move forward on developing the plan.

Vision: Danbury Public Schools aspires to advance ALL learners to their highest potential.

Mission: To move Danbury Public Schools forward, we will work in partnership with families and the community to provide transformational and prepared graduates.

Our priorities, identified through the stakeholder feedback include Teaching and Learning, Staff Development, Talent Acquisition, School Culture, Meaningful Collaboration, and Resource Allocation.

Received feedback will be shared in aggregate.  Thank you for your support.
