Our current One LCPS: 2027 Strategic Plan for Excellence has helped guide our work and priorities. As we look ahead, we are developing a new Strategic Plan for 2027–2032 that will help us focus our collective efforts over the next five years. Our Strategic Planning Team has been listening, learning and working together to develop draft goals and strategies for the new plan, with feedback from the community along the way.

Now, we are inviting students, families, staff and community members to share their thoughts on the draft goals and strategies.

We are using ThoughtExchange, an online platform that gives everyone an opportunity to share their perspectives and rate others' ideas.

Please take a few minutes to participate between September 16 and October 1. Participate in the 2027-2032 Strategic Plan ThoughtExchange and learn more: lcps.org/thoughtexchange

We know our community wants to have a say in how LCPS allocates its budget to best support student learning and achievement. We are asking for your thoughts on what the School Board might consider as they develop the 2027-2028 School Year (FY28) budget. Our teachers, counselors, principals, school nutrition workers, and bus drivers work to support students throughout the year and are part of the budget that funds school programs and classroom instruction from early childhood through graduation. Our budget also supports facilities and maintenance, staff benefits, technology, and overall operations that make our division thrive.

At a time when we anticipate a slowing rate of revenue growth over the next few years, we are taking a close look at existing spending, identifying where we can achieve better results with different investments, and investing in ways to improve student outcomes. Our students are at the center of this work.

We need our staff and community’s input to learn what is most important to everyone and help inform our next steps. To do that, we are asking everyone to participate in a ThoughtExchange to share their ideas and let us know how they feel about other ideas the community suggests.

Participate in the ThoughtExchange and return anytime before September 15 to rate new ideas. You can also visit the LCPS ThoughtExchange page.
