pre k BCPS students

During the search for a new City Schools CEO, you told us what you want the future of our school district to look like. Families, students, staff and community members all shared what matters most to them and what they want to see improve in our schools.

The Board used this feedback to shape four new focus areas that will guide its work moving forward. These four areas will replace the Board’s previous seven strategic priorities, helping to shape the district’s next strategic plan.
