The Board of Education adopted the 2024-2030 "Schenectady 2030" Strategic Plan on October 23, 2024. You can review the plan here. The District Data Committee is working with Schenectady stakeholders to develop a dashboard that visualizes the power metrics outlined within the plan. The plan is designed to be high-level and to provide over-arching system goals guided by the vision of the Schenectady City School District.
The district will continue to set annual goals, strategies, and progress monitoring measures aligned to the strategic plan in an effort to validate actions, monitor progress, and consider adjustment.
District and school leaders will refer to the plan and connect work and progress to the pillars of the plan.

What is a Strategic Plan? A strategic plan is a tool that defines where we want to go and what actions we need to take to achieve those goals. It's a map for our school district's growth and how we plan to get there. It provides clear direction for decision-making, resource allocation, evaluation, fostering alignment, and accountability across all levels of the organization.
Connecting Our Work and Accomplishments to our Mission and Goals
Alumni Profiles (Student and Graduate Success)
Materials:
Student and Graduate Success
Our graduates are role models. They provide hope, motivation, and inspiration. They are also our stories of success.
Student Voice
Student voice is an important part of Student and Graduate Success, pillar one of our Strategic Plan. The Superintendent's Student Advisory Council is one way that district leadership hears from students who represent their peer. Superintendent Cotto met with these student leaders on Monday, January 27.
Passionate People
We all play an important role in student and graduate success.
Another example of "passionate people," is Dana Russo, a reading teacher at Howe Elementary School, who we are highlighting as our first Teacher of the Week. Dana is one of many passionate educators in our district, and we’re so grateful for her 25 incredible years of teaching students to become better readers.
Board of Education Members
School board members are selfless volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure that all students have the greatest opportunity to learn and be successful. They in collaboration with district leaders create a shared vision (Strategic Plan) that sets the direction of the district and ensures that the district is flexible and responsive to the needs of the community.
Did You Know?
When members of our school community ask questions or express that they are unaware of a process, system, program or opportunity, we know there are probably others who have the same question. Did you know will provide an answer to everyone, not just the person asking the question or expressing frustration or concern. We will continue to share these out. This is important because we want to make sure that you are aware and have access to resources and supports for your family and child. #studentandgraduatesuccess #partnershipswithfamilyandcommunity
