2011-2012 Strategic Framework Action Plans for Each School

March, 2011 Update

The Strategic Planning committee has finalized a report of our progress against the indicators outlined in the Strategic Framework.  These have been compiled into our first annual State of the Schools report which was mailed to every household in our three communities.  This newspaper format report contains general information on our progress, posted below, with more detailed information also being posted below.  

State of the Schools Report (Newspaper format)

Strategic Plan additional detailed information

The RSU No. 5 Strategic Framework is the result of nine months of joint effort between the community, district educators, and the Board of Directors to develop a forward-looking document to guide decision-making at multiple levels.  This is a living document that will change and adapt as situations warrant.  This is intended to be ambitious and bold, a necessity for the ever-changing world that our children will inherit.     

This document is the framework for the strategies this community will use to help RSU No. 5 realize the goal of educational excellence while demonstrating a greater efficiency in the use of our resources. We invite you to read the document here.  As you will note this plan is deliberately broad and not overly prescriptive.  Each school has designed specific and innovative strategies to meet the learning needs of their students. You will find the Strategic Framework action plans for each school listed below:

Pownal Elementary School
Morse Street School
Mast Landing School
Durham Community School
Freeport Middle School
Freeport High School

The RSU No. 5 Board of Directors intends to hold themselves and our educators accountable for implementing strategies to achieve our academic and financial goals.
