Strategic Plan
After several months of listening to priorities and concerns of families, teammates, and other community stakeholders, Buncombe County Schools has an updated strategic plan. The plan outlines core beliefs, goals, and strategies to help all students succeed. School leaders hosted town-hall style meetings in each of its districts, along with special sessions of its student, counselor, social worker, and teacher advisory councils. There were also meetings with school-based administrators, and groups representing families of multi-language learners. People also participated by sending suggestions online.
Ideas gathered have been synthesized into a shared vision, mission, and goals for BCS, as well as action steps and measures of success.
The core beliefs of the new strategic plan explain that as a school system, BCS is at its best when it:
Engages students in meaningful ways
Collaborates and connects
Builds strong family and community partnerships
Supports educators
Invests for equity and excellence
The strategic plan’s goals include:
Every school meeting or exceeding growth while increasing proficiency in all content areas and all subgroups, as measured by multiple indicators of progress including state tests.
Establishing a classroom, school, and district culture that is welcoming, responsive, safe and engaging for all students, staff, and families.
Preparing each student for success in life by engaging them in the regular application of durable skills across school settings.
Providing ongoing, intentional support for every staff member in order to equip them to meet the needs of each and every student they serve.
