Our Call to Action: Pursuit of Excellence (Strategic Plan)

Strategic Plan 2009-2014 cover 

Introduction

Over the past 10 years, the improvement efforts in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)  have been carefully guided by a detailed strategic plan, Our Call to Action:  Pursuit of Excellence.  While the world has changed and the economy has struggled, this plan has provided the clear direction to support the outstanding academic achievement of the district’s students.  Each year performance is assessed and the plan is adjusted to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.  MCPS is striving to create a school system where academic success is not predictable by race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, language proficiency or disability.
