Every Student - Future Ready Strategic Plan
On December 11, 2023, the Board of Education finalized the updated 5-year strategic plan, which will guide the work of WPS through 2029.
In July 2023, the Wichita Board of Education asked Superintendent Kelly Bielefeld to develop an updated 5-year Strategic Plan, building on the success of the 2018-23 Strategic Plan. 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 a new Mission, Vision and Shared Beliefs in August and September 2023.
