Drew Charter School is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to collaboratively lead the process for the development of the school’s strategic plan to cover the years 2025 – 2030. The school’s current 5-year plan was adopted in July 2020 and concludes in June 2025. The consulting project is anticipated to start in early January 2025, with a final plan drafted by April 2025. Formal implementation of the 2025 -2030 plan is slated to begin in July 2025. Drew’s most recent and current strategic plan was adopted in July 2020 and can be found here. Historically, the school has updated its strategic plan every five (5) years, and as Drew looks to update its current plan, the school and the board are definitively focused on keeping equity at the core of its work.
Drew seeks to create an updated strategic plan reflective of the school’s intentional focus on building and elevating innovative and sustainable equitable practices in all aspects of the organization, particularly school culture, inclusive teaching and learning, student access to and involvement in programs, enrichment activities, and athletics, as well as family engagement and belonging. The school also seeks to make continuous progress in ensuring equitable experiences and academic outcomes for all students as it relates to different subgroups. To ensure that the new strategic plan addresses equity in meaningful ways, the school seeks consulting services with a national lens or national experience that are experienced in addressing these areas.
