Sharpsville Area School District's Comprehensive Planning

The Sharpsville Area School District is committed to goals, strategies and action plans that will guide the District through the 2019 – 2022 school years. Comprehensive Planning facilitates communication and collaboration, promotes shared practices and resources, and ensures that every stakeholder is working toward common goals. To be effective and relevant, we believe it is critical that representatives from businesses in the area, community leaders, parents, school board members, and school staff all have opportunity to provide input and service on this committee. 

The comprehensive plan includes the following details:

• District Profile
• Planning Process/Committee
• Mission, Vision & Values
• Core Foundations
• Instructional Strategies
• Safe & Supportive Schools
• Programming for Gifted Students
• Special Education Assurances
• Accomplishments & Concerns
• Needs Assessments
• District Level Plan
• Action Plan & Goals
• Professional Development

“Comprehensive Planning is a continuous process used to ensure that all students are achieving at high levels. All districts can create better environments so that more students are successful. Continuous planning of public districts is essential to providing increased student performance and quality results. Innovative, exemplary, and research-based programs, coupled with staff development, focused and aligned resources and public participation in planning, are critical factors in districts that demonstrate continuous growth.”
