The Maroa-Forsyth school district recently completed their new strategic plan.

Superintendent Dr. John Ahlemeyer indicated they assembled a 36 person team comprised of staff, students, and community members to lead the process. The district also sent out a satisfaction survey to the community.

The new mission statement is "to cultivate a passion for learning by challenging all students to reach their unique potential." Dr. Ahlemeyer said the purpose behind it was to reflect their location and what they wanted to equip their students with.

Dr. Ahlemeyer indicated that some of the district's goals are to have a middle school building planning committee and to have a districtwide curriculum evaluation team.

Dr. Ahlemeyer said the purpose of the strategic plan was to maintain their great programs while also finding areas for growth and to attract people to the district.
