Strategic Plan

The Washingtonville Central School District’s current strategic plan began as a community collaboration. 

In the summer of 2023, the District launched a comprehensive planning process to define its mission, vision, and core values, establishing a long-term roadmap that continues to guide decision-making today.

The process began with a community survey in June, which invited residents to share their thoughts about what mattered most for Washingtonville’s future. And in Washingtonville fashion, the community delivered, with nearly 400 participants providing feedback. 

From this input, three priority areas emerged: Student Experience, Academic Excellence, and Community Connection.

In August 2023, the District hosted a series of collaborative meetings that brought together administrators, Board of Education members, teachers, parents and representatives from each school. Through this shared effort, administrators and Board members developed the first draft of a mission and vision statement, as well as a set core values that continues to shape every initiative. This work resulted in a detailed action plan, assigning goals, responsibilities, and timelines to ensure progress and accountability. 

These efforts culminated into the following three Washingtonville Central School District Priority Areas that will guide the District and its staff in the foreseeable future.
