Five year strategic plan for Lowellville School District

LOWELLVILLE

The Lowellville School District Board of Education unveiled a new five-year strategic plan Wednesday.

A committee of educators, school administrators, parents, business leaders, graduates and village government officials began working on the plan last spring.

The final version is focused on six goals the committee decided should be priorities for the district: academic achievement, extra-curricular activities, finances, community engagement, safety and enrollment.

Jennifer Coppola-Johnson, a parent and the chairwoman of the Lowellville Schools Foundation, served on the strategic planning committee and said the plan is a way to help keep the school administration focused on a clear set of goals when making future decisions.

“It essentially gives us targets to work toward. The plan helps the administration and the community maximize our focus and make the most of our effort moving forward,” Coppola-Johnson said.
