WPS Strategic Plan
Student success is the singular focus of the Wichita Public Schools as the Every Student Future Ready strategic plan aims to inspire every student to thrive and become future ready. Over the next five years, the WPS community will be laser-focused on delivering innovative and impactful educational experiences that ensure all of our graduates are ready for LIFE, COLLEGE and CAREER. We know that our students today are the community's leaders, workers and volunteers of tomorrow. The success of our district's students goes hand in hand with the success of our community's future!
Approved by the Wichita Board of Education in December 2023, the Every Student Future Ready plan lays out a clear path for how success will be achieved and measured over the next five years, with explicit interim measures being developed this spring. Students, and the educators who inspire them, are at the heart of this bold plan for success.
