The 2020 Vision, Mission and
Strategic Plan reflects the critical priorities and district goals for educating students within the Kent County Public School System. This plan embraces our core values and serves as a guide to support student learning for the next five years. Achieving long-term academic outcomes for our students requires a focused commitment from our teachers and district staff, including a high level of commitment from our families, community and business partners. We need your support to ensure every child who attends our schools has every available opportunity to learn, achieve and follow their dreams.
