The BOE will vote to finalize the new Strategic Plan at the December 11 meeting. The plan will guide the work of the Wichita Public Schools through 2029.
In July 2023, the BOE asked Superintendent Bielefeld to develop an updated Strategic Plan as the previous plan was coming to a close. WPS held 13 listening sessions and gathered online feedback from hundreds of stakeholders to help shape the new plan.
Based on the feedback, the BOE approved an updated Mission, Vision and Shared Beliefs in August and September 2023.
