Priority Area 1 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Implementation and Monitoring Roadmap
Built in partnership with our community, the Forward By Design: Acceleration 2029 plan is now transitioning from a shared vision to a clear roadmap for action. This framework outlines the path forward, serving as our commitment to remain transparent, accountable, and steadfast in our mission to support the success of every student.
- Implementing The Plan: From Strategy to Actions
We are integrating our goals into the daily work of every school and department through:- Systemic Action Plans: Aligning every division with our five key priorities: Student Success, Staff & Leaders, Expanding Access to Programs, Family and Community Partnerships, and Organizational Culture.
- Shared Accountability: Clear milestones and ownership to ensure transparent, timely progress at every level.
- Establish a joint labor-management implementation council that meets regularly to review progress toward strategic priorities, identify emerging challenges, and collaboratively develop solutions that support successful implementation.
- Monitoring The Plan: Data-Driven Accountability
To ensure this remains a living document that drives real results, PGCPS has established a multi-layered monitoring framework. This system allows us to track progress and make adaptive adjustments through:- Adaptive Planning: Ongoing evaluation to shift supports, resources, and interventions based on the immediate needs of our students and schools.
- Performance Tracking: Utilizing district data to monitor essential outcomes and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
