WCS Strategic Plan: 2021-2025

Warsaw Community Schools is dedicated to achieving and living our mission. Our mission is to inspire and equip all students to continuously acquire and apply knowledge and skills while pursuing their dreams and enriching the lives of others.

Our Plan for Continuous Recalibration

WCS is committed to continuous improvement, managing change based on student, staff, and community feedback, as well as local and national conversations. Stakeholder feedback loops are built in semiannually to ensure we can recalibrate early and often. In addition to these feedback loops, WCS assesses each strategy’s impact by reviewing key performance metrics yearly, while implementation teams will be monitoring each strategy’s status by reviewing progress indicators monthly.

  • Every fall, the Guiding Team, Strategic Leads, and Implementation Teams convene to assess all strategies according to key performance metrics and progress indicators

  • Every spring, Strategic Leads meet with Community Ambassadors. These Community Ambassadors will act as liaisons for WCS’s stakeholder groups and are responsible for elevating the voice of their respective communities. They provide feedback and collaborate with Strategic Leads on ideas for increasing partnerships and stakeholder engagement.

  • Monthly, Strategic Leads meet with their Implementation teams to review the status of action items from previous meetings, as well as any new action items. They evaluate movement based on progress indicators, identifying key issues, roadblocks, and adjustments.

  • Quarterly, the Guiding Team and Strategic Leads review each pillar’s movement across strategies, reviewing action items and progress indicators. As an extension of monthly meetings, these teams share their previously identified key issues, roadblocks, and adjustments, making decisions on how to pivot accordingly.

As we enter the final phase of our strategic plan, we reflect on the meaningful progress made over the past few years. The months ahead will be dedicated to gathering valuable data, assessing the impact of our initiatives and identifying opportunities to systemize successful strategies for long-term sustainability.

While we prepare to close this chapter, we are also looking forward to the future, laying the groundwork for a new five-year plan set to launch in 2026. It has been an impactful journey, and we are excited to build upon our successes to continue inspiring and equipping students for years to come.
