Development of the Plan

Richmond is an exceptional school district that has been built through the dedication of those who work and learn here. As such, the strategic planning process began by connecting to those who know our district best: students, staff, parents and stakeholders. These groups have collaboratively shaped the inclusive learning environments for which Richmond is known.

Over the course of several months, the board engaged in purposeful dialogue and received a significant amount of meaningful feedback. Through this process, five strategic priorities were identified: inspired learners, equity and inclusion, optimized facilities and technology, a progressive workplace, and a connected learning community.
