Strategic Plan 2023-30
The strategic plan is our North Star for how we ensure excellence, equity, and opportunity for each and every student from now through 2030
The Strategic Plan
Fairfax County Public Schools' new strategic plan presents our vision and goals as a leading public school division that is committed to delivering excellence, equity, and opportunity in education. With this plan, we are beginning a transformative journey to ensure that each and every student reaches their greatest potential.
The culmination of the strategic planning work resulted in the development of five student-centered goals, measures to monitor the progress toward those goals, equity commitments to support each and every student with attaining those goals, and four pillars that identify what FCPS must do well to reach these goals. This plan will guide the work of FCPS through 2030.
Four Pillars
The Four Pillars identify what FCPS must do well to be able to reach our goals for all students. They serve as the foundation of our work and define the capabilities we need and must continuously improve to strengthen the effectiveness of instructional programs and Division-wide infrastructure. They are the building block for action and decision-making, and provide a durable frame for organizing and focusing our work.
Goals and Measures of Success
The strategic plan identifies five overarching goals that will drive positive change throughout our district. These goals indicate where we should focus our attention and help us align our efforts.
Each goal includes an equity commitment and a set of measures that will be used to evaluate success.
Annual reporting for each goal can be found at the Goal links on the left under Goal - Reports.
A Message From the Superintendent
Hello FCPS Community,
After many months of hard work and input from students, staff, families, and community members, we are excited to share the FCPS Strategic Plan with you.
This plan will be our North Star for how we ensure excellence, equity, and opportunity for each and every student from now through 2030.
One of the highlights you will read about is the tremendous support that we received from our community. We’ve reviewed more than 100,000 feedback survey responses and hosted more than 65 planning team and community meetings. This has truly been a collaborative effort, and we thank all of you for joining us on this important journey. Learning happens best in community!
Your feedback guided us toward goals that ensure our youngest students have a strong academic start, and our graduates will thrive in whatever path they choose for their future. We remain committed to providing an environment where students feel safe, supported, included, and empowered in their education. We will continue to emphasize the academic growth and excellence that has long been a point of pride for the Fairfax County community. Finally, we will focus on ensuring that each and every student has equitable access and opportunity in our schools.
We are confident this plan will guide us to the mountaintop of educational excellence, inspiring our students to shine brightly, as they fulfill their unique dreams and greatest potential. Together, all things are possible!
