Strategic Plan
Wickliffe City School District Plan of Action: 2025-2029
In August of 2014, the district began the process of developing a five-year strategic plan. The plan included an audit of quantitative data including a review of data from the previous five years. The district conducted staff focus group meetings, community focus group meetings, student focus group meetings, and business focus group meetings to gather qualitative information about the district and its programs. As a result of the data analysis and focus group meetings, the district developed and approved a strategic plan. The plan commenced in 2014 and is in place through June 2019.
In October 2018, the district began the process of reviewing and revising the plan. As in the 2014 plan, an analysis of quantitative data was completed. The review included data from: state testing, ACT/SAT results, Advanced Placement test results, progress monitoring tools, special education audits, attendance information, and school discipline actions. In addition, the district examined the newly created Ohio Department of Education Strategic Plan, and National Clearinghouse information from Wickliffe and Lake County.
In September of 2024, the district commenced a review of the plan. As in the previous plans, an analysis of quantitative data was completed. The review included data from: state testing, ACT/SAT results, Advanced Placement test results, progress monitoring tools, special education audits, College Credit Plus classes, attendance information, economic factors, and school discipline actions. Additionally, staff, community, and student focus groups were conducted to gather qualitative information.
Since the inception of the Strategic Plan in 2014, over 300 people participated in student, staff, and community focus groups. In total 39 focus groups have been conducted to help inform the plan. The information collected through the qualitative process was combined with the data collected in the quantitative process, and the information was used to inform the 2025-29 plan.
The mission, vision, and goals have not changed from the previous plan. Specific goals and action steps have been revised, modified, and/or changed to reflect the needs of the district and the expectations of the community.
