Isle of Wight County Schools’ proposed 2022-27 strategic plan drew no public comments at the School Board’s May 18 public hearing.

The two-page document has been in development since 2021. Last fall, a steering committee of staff, students, parents and other community members identified four main goals for the new plan: academic excellence, family engagement, recruitment and retention, and organizational effectiveness and efficiency. Workgroups for each goal, also composed of parents, employees, students and community members, then met to decide on strategies for each goal.

The document is viewable at www.iwcs.k12.va.us/apps/news/article/1592603.

The School Board intends to vote on the document in June. Assuming it’s adopted as is, it would take effect July 1.
