Pleasantville Schools is developing its next Strategic Plan, building on the District's strengths and established priorities while identifying opportunities to grow, innovate and improve in the years ahead. As with previous plans, this work is being shaped through a collaborative process led by a Strategic Planning Steering Committee comprising students, parents, residents, faculty, staff, administrators and Board of Education representatives.
An important foundation for this work is the District's mission: to empower all students to thrive as lifelong learners, dynamic thinkers and compassionate, contributing citizens through rich, differentiated academic programs; a safe, supportive environment; opportunities to explore individual passions; and an emphasis on leadership and service.
To help inform the process, the District gathered input through surveys of students in grades 5–12 and focus groups with students in grades K–4, as well as surveys of faculty and staff and the broader community. This feedback is critical to understanding what our community values most about Pleasantville Schools and where opportunities exist to evolve and innovate - and the Steering Committee is using this input to help shape the plan.
