We are excited to share that after last year’s conversations, surveys, and input from students, families, staff, and community members, our new strategic plan is complete! We created a video to provide an overview of the strategic plan - you can view it at bit.ly/D207SPVid or 🔗 in bio.

Additional information on the plan can be found at maine207.org/strategic-plan/.
