Strategic Plan

Olathe Public Schools Strategic Plan 2021-26

The Olathe Board of Education relaunched the district Strategic Plan in August 2021. The Olathe Public Schools Strategic Plan 2021-2026 outlines the district’s goals and core values to set the roadmap to help students achieve great success. The Strategic Plan began with the development of the Portrait of a Graduate. District staff and the Board of Education, with much community input, created a Portrait of a Graduate to outline what we want our students to know and be able to do when they graduate from our schools. The 2021-26 Strategic Plan also incorporates a greater focus on diversity and engagement.

Core Values: Integrity, Vision, Accountability, Resilience, Innovation, and Inclusivity
Vision: Their Future is Our Future

Our four strategic plan goals are:
