Aiken County Public Schools Strategic Plan Input

Dear Students, Families, Friends and Employees of Aiken County Public Schools,

The Aiken County Public School District has a rich history and legacy dating back to the 1800s. Like those before us, it is incumbent upon us to reflect on our past and maintain a keen eye on the future to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our students and to advance academic achievement in our schools.

In the first months of the new year, we will embark on a new strategic planning process to examine and reflect on our future direction and work to define our most strategic priorities and goals over the next several years. As we get started, we ask for your assistance in sharing your general thoughts on the areas outlined below. We will use this information as a springboard to future discussions and will be sure to keep you abreast and ask for additional input as we move further along in the process. Thank you for your willingness to share your thoughts as we plan for our future. Your feedback is vital to this process.

Sincerely,

Aiken County School District Strategic Planning Committee
