Office of the Superintendent
Mr. Jeff Powell
As we relentlessly commit to providing a supportive and innovative education system, the office of the superintendent must work to ensure efficiency and effectiveness in utilizing the resources available to yield the strongest results. This commitment involves always measuring effectiveness by student outcomes and supporting the employees who work closest with them. Decisions will always be made to better support this commitment, utilize innovative practices, and be monitored using this plan.
This Strategic Plan will serve as a map to achieving a District Performance Score of 90 over the next five years. Department level Goals that reflect progress towards this district Goal are identified throughout this plan. Each goal is supported by an action plan, measurement process, and person(s) responsible. The Strategic Plan has been developed with intentionality and purpose to ensure everyone remains focused and relentlessly committed to achieving desired outcomes for our students, our employees, and our community.
Although many things that occur in a school system are not directly related to student achievement, every decision made reflects the values of the overall system which should lead to more students and adults achieving their maximum potential. Through ENGAGEMENT strategies, a strong shared vision has been adopted that reflects the direction of Rapides Parish Schools. The Strategic Plan serves as a guide towards EMPOWERMENT by identifying knowledge and experiences that give individuals opportunities to achieve the shared vision. The more people we have taking part in the work of the Strategic Plan the more people will ELEVATE to their maximum potential.
