Strategic Plan

Future Search Process & Strategic Plan

In October 2011, a representative stakeholder group gathered at Central Middle School for the introductory event in what has become an evolving and fluid plan for the future of education in RSU 64.  During an intense day-and-a-half workshop, our stakeholder group delved into the history of RSU 64 and its schools and communities, various influences on educational programming and ongoing challenges, current perceptions on the strengths of and challenges facing the District, and a vision of what we desire for our schools, students, and communities in the future.

Emerging from that focused and rewarding experience was a common set of Guiding Beliefs and Major Goal Areas that would serve as the foundation for the next steps in the process including the revision of the District’s stated Vision and Mission and the design of a Strategic Plan.

The following Goal Area Teams continue to meet on an ongoing basis:
