In the Spring of 2020, Lovejoy ISD embarked on the first-ever Strategic Planning process to identify goals, strategies, and action steps that will continue to lead Lovejoy towards excellence.
Known as Living Lovejoy 2025, the strategic planning process gathers input and feedback from teachers, staff, students, parents, and the One Heart. One Lovejoy community to chart the course for continued improvement over the next several years!
Based around our community developed Core Values of One Heart. One Lovejoy, Best Today. Better Tomorrow. and Kids Come First, we are excited to continue our work throughout the Spring to provide a comprehensive plan for approval by the Board of Trustees in May of 2021.
Action Teams are focusing their work around 6 pillars - Graduate Profile, Educator Profile, Continuous Improvement, Community Engagement, Safe & Positive Learning Environment, and Diversity & Inclusion. Action Teams are starting the next process of our journey in identifying specific action steps that will guide us to reach our goals!
