The Plattsburgh City School District is excited to start the process of strategic planning. Our district mission statement will be our compass for the journey ahead. The District-wide Educational Committee (DWEIC) will be leading this endeavor, but this committee knows in order to re-focus and unite our district around our mission, the process must be a collective effort. DWEIC will strive to ensure transparency and communication surrounding the steps of this process and will provide opportunities for stakeholders to have a voice. While our work may be challenging at times, we firmly believe this strategic planning is the next integral step for our district. We look forward to all we can accomplish, together.
