    Strategic Plan
    ME Logo

    Introduction........

    In 1993, The Miami East School District created its first strategic plan, and for the following seven years, the document was a blueprint for success. A fluid process allowed Miami East to address six target goal areas: curriculum, staff development, finances, facilities, technology and communication. Having served a valuable purpose, the 1993 goals were fulfilled.

    In 2000, a new strategic plan was formulated, and it will provide the same clarity of purpose and direction as the 1993 program. Parents, staff members, community representatives, administrators and the board of education are working together to develop the strategic plan and ensure its implementation. The plan will be reviewed annually, and school personnel will use the mission, belief statements and strategic goals as the focus of Miami East's programs and projects. The plan will provide assurances that any changes in the school program will have a positive impact on student learning in Miami East Schools.

    In May 2020, a new Five-Year Strategic was revised and implemented. Five areas of improvement and continued focus were identified by a group of administrators, Board of Education members, staff, parents, and community members. Immediately, the committees began meeting to discuss and create an action plan. The various sub committees will annually report to the Miami East Board of Education the progress for each group and establish the goals for the following year.

    2. To provide a curriculum that offers a sense, of direction for every student and awards him with the satisfaction of accomplishment.
