BPS Vision and Strategy

In 2019, Billerica Public Schools had just undergone the "Billerica 2019" transition, which involved the opening of the new high school, the closing of the Vining School, the redistricting of elementary and middle schools, and a change in the district's grade configuration. The district is now looking into the future, asking the questions:

What is our vision for education for students in Billerica for 2020 and beyond?

In order to support students for their futures, what goals do we need to set, and how do we get there?

Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, the district worked with PBS staff, students, families and community members to develop a set of strategy themes and strategic priorities. Using these questions to guide that work, the district held multiple community visioning sessions to gather input from the community, and established working groups to use the information from the visioning sessions in developing BPS Strategy Themes and Strategic Priorities.

Since then district has built the District Strategy Plan, based on the themes and priorities and approved by the School Committee on October 25, 2022. This plan will guide the work of the district, schools, and staff as goals are crafted to align with the district's priorities.
