Achieving Our Goals for Students
Advancing positive student outcomes and experiences is a multi-faceted effort that requires the collaboration of the entire Pittsburgh community. These efforts are coordinated through a series of deliberate plans, each working in tandem to help us achieve our goals for students and ensure excellence, equity, and efficiency.
Strategic Plan
We are proud to announce Pittsburgh Public Schools' new strategic plan, Students First Always, in All Ways: A Five-Year Strategic Plan to Drive Student Outcomes and Experiences. We developed our strategic plan with the invaluable input of our community and a thorough analysis of District data. Our plan is designed to achieve six priority outcomes that will guide our efforts over the next five years, ensuring the best possible education and support for all our students.
Facilities Utilization Plan
Pittsburgh is changing, and Pittsburgh Public Schools must be flexible and thoughtful in its approach to align and advance student learning and experiences. By making smart moves now, we can offer equitable opportunities to all students and utilize our resources effectively. Working together as one District, not as separate schools or communities, we can transform education. There will be tough decisions ahead, but our common goal is to provide the best for our children. Learn more about how you can provide input on portfolio design in PPS.
Equity
For more than three decades, Pittsburgh Public Schools has been working attentively towards building racial equity. We work with the community-appointed Equity Advisory Panel to embed recommendations that support equity through unrelenting advocacy. Together we strive to move the needle on equity develop tools to encourage cross-functional supports that convert to frameworks for educational improvement and transformation.
