Strategic Plan
On August 20, 2012, the Board of Education adopted this Strategic Plan to guide us for years to come. This is the result of months of work by our community, administrators, teachers, and staff of our school district. It provides the direction for our instruction, curriculum, budgeting, staffing, and partnerships.
The 2014-2015 Update, adopted by the Board of Education May 19, 2014, is a revision to the plan the Macomb Community Unit District 185 Board of Education adopted in 2012. This update reflects the district's commitment to transparency in the decision-making process and establishing priorities to guide the use of resources that will best serve our mission and vision.
