MERSD Strategic Planning Survey

MERSD Vision of the Graduate & Strategic Planning Community Engagement

MERSD Strategic Planning Survey

The Manchester Essex Regional School District continues to be recognized as one of the highest performing school districts in Massachusetts. I am very proud of the wonderful work our dedicated faculty and staff do every day to support the social, emotional and intellectual growth of our students, and I am very excited about MERSD’s future.

Looking to build upon the success of our program and to prepare students for the workplace of tomorrow, MERSD has begun a two-year strategic planning process to define our roadmap for creating a future-focused education program.  Following the blueprint from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), MERSD has outlined a Vision of the Graduate (VOG).  The VOG defines what students should know and be able to do as a result of a Manchester Essex education and examines the question - What are the skills and dispositions students will require to find success?   This profile will serve as the driver for the development of a multi-year plan that establishes a set of goals and strategic initiatives to achieve the Vision of the Graduate 2033. 

Community Input

MERSD will engage the community in a conversation about our future needs during February & March 2020, and we will present the plan in the Fall 2020-2021 school year.  This is an opportunity for the community to learn, ask questions, and provide feedback about the future of MERSD.  I hope you take the time to share your input.
