Long Range Plan on a Page

After two years in the making, all the work of a number of committees has culminated in an easy-to-read document called Plan-on-a-Page. In 2006-2007, committees examined the various areas of the district and came up with goals and recommendations. The following year, a community engagement process began called M-PACT [Mundelein Parents and Community Together] that delved deeper into the recommendations of the Long Range Planning Committee. In June 2008, the M-PACT group made recommendations to the Board of Education.

New Superintendent Jody Ware, along with the leadership team, was able to take all the goals and recommendations and place them on one sheet of paper for easy reading, identifiable measures and targets. The result is the Plan-on-a-Page which is seen here:
