Mahwah NJ, the Mahwah Public Schools are gearing up for a new chapter in strategic planning, and they’re inviting the community to be part of the conversation. With the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan nearing its conclusion, the district is hosting a series of public meetings to reflect on progress and chart a course for the next five years.
These gatherings aim to inform residents about the district’s accomplishments and involve them in shaping the 2025-2030 Strategic Plan.
Meeting Schedule and Details
The district has announced three key dates for community input:
- December 16, 2023: The kickoff meeting will be held at Joyce Kilmer School’s gymnasium from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. An outside facilitator will guide attendees in sharing perspectives and gathering insights.
- February 27, 2024, and April 9, 2024: These follow-up meetings will focus on synthesizing ideas and finalizing the Strategic Blueprint 2025-2030. Locations for these sessions will be announced closer to the dates.
Community members are encouraged to RSVP here to participate.
Reflecting on the 2020-2025 Blueprint
The current strategic plan, shaped through town hall meetings, focused on four key areas:
- Curriculum and Instruction
- Social-Emotional Learning
- Community Connections
- Facilities
The district describes these areas as the foundation for its recent work and hopes to build upon them in the new blueprint.
“We’re leveraging the same process to set a blueprint for the next five years,” the district said. “We expect the community to once again play a pivotal role. Please join us as we re-imagine, together, what Mahwah Township Public Schools can look like through the next five school years!”
