WCPS Community Strategic Planning Survey

For the purposes of strategic planning, Washington County Public Schools is using six key components to guide our work.  These provide an area of focus to frame the design of the strategic plan.

  • TEACHING & LEARNING – having a clear vision for what students should know and be able to do

  • VALUES – having a shared belief system that binds the school system together

  • DECISION-MAKING – being transparent in how decisions get made

  • RESOURCE ALLOCATION – allocating time, people, and funds towards the vision and needs

  • TALENT MANAGEMENT – supporting people so they can do their best work

  • CULTURE – ensuring educators, staff, students, and families feel positive about the schools


The questions on the survey reflect input generated at a community forum held on April 18, 2024, to gather information from the Washington County community as we develop plans for the future of our school system.

Short answer questions are required (marked with an *), and long form responses are optional.
