On Friday, September 27, 2024 the Provo City School District Board of Education adopted a new strategic plan.

Strategic Plan

Review the Full 2025-2030 Strategic Plan

The Planning Process

Provo City School District established a Steering Committee comprised of students, parents, district staff, and community members that met monthly over the last year to develop our strategic plan. They completed a needs assessment by analyzing student achievement and growth data along with qualitative and quantitative district data. Further input from surveys and focus groups informed the development of priorities through a series of school board work sessions.

Letter from Board President, Rebecca Nielsen

Dear Provo Community,

We are excited to introduce our newly developed Provo City School District Strategic Plan, a roadmap to guide our district in the coming years. With contributions from staff, students, parents, and community members, this plan is not just a vision, but a promise of what we can accomplish together.

As we navigate the opportunities and challenges ahead, we are confident that it will be a compass for every decision made in our district, ensuring alignment between our choices and goals. However, It is more than just a set of guidelines. It is a shared commitment to a consistent, unified approach across our schools. Every facet of our district will be shaped by its principles, helping us create a high-achieving, high-functioning place of learning that prepares both students and staff for success beyond our doors.

We invite each of you to familiarize yourselves with this plan and participate in its implementation and fulfillment. Together, we will foster inspiration, raise the bar for academic achievement, and cultivate a welcoming culture that will benefit all who come in contact with our schools.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to making the Provo City School District a model of success.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Nielsen Board President Provo City School District Board of Education
