Strategic
Planning
The Kyrene Governing Board has
recently called for the revision of the District’s
Strategic Plan. The last Strategic Plan was developed in
2000 as a guide for the 2000-2005 academic years. A team
of parents, teachers, district administrators,
principals, and support staff has begun meeting –
with the Kyrene mission, vision, and guiding principles
as the first topics of discussion. Additional
information will be made available through the Kyrene
Web site, Insider, and other communications vehicles in
the coming weeks.
