Brookview Strategic Plan
Our SGC worked with our Brookview Leadership Team to create and approve our strategic plan. Our long-term goals include:
- Improve school wide attendance across all grade levels
- Decrease the number of office referrals and out of school suspensions
- Increase student's achievement through integrating literacy in Math, Social Studies and Science across all grade levels
The below Strategic Plan Narrative Document includes the Environmental Scan and Organizational Assessment data used to create the plan. The Strategic Plan Overview document is a one-page overview that includes our goals, objectives, and initiatives.
