Strategic planning involves the envisioning of a path for the organization to reach its greatest potential.  The plan is a living document that is being followed even as it is developing.  The process itself allows the exchange of ideas at the leadership level which promotes active involvement toward accomplishing the outlined strategies and also provides opportunities to adjust direction when needed.

 The Board of School Inspectors, Central Office Administrators and The District Community Council worked through the strategic planning process during the 1997-98 school year to develop a five-year strategic plan.  In January of 1998 our first year of the plan was introduced to the schools and community. 

 The strategic planning process has promoted leadership and positive working relationships with employees, parents and the community as well.  This process has helped define major areas which are designed to move Joliet Public Schools positively into the 21^st century.  It is anticipated that strategic planning will be a key administrative function in the new millennium.
