Phase 2
Developing the MCPS Strategic Plan 2026-2030
On November 11, 2024, over 180 students, parents, caregivers, community partners, and school-based and central office staff came together for a full-day work session to address the key issues and themes outlined in the Phase 1 Report. The participants met in seven facilitated work groups. Please watch the short video below for an overview of the work session.
Each group received research briefs before the session that provided MCPS performance data and best practices nationwide. You can find all the briefs here. Click on the areas you are most interested in.
The goal was for each work group to answer this question:
- What are the systems–and the beliefs and values that uphold those systems–that must be in place for MCPS to effectively implement the best practices with consistency?
The work session was divided into three parts:
- Analyzing the root causes of the issue.
- Brainstorming approaches to address the root causes.
- Align the approaches using the Antiracist System Audit.
