The strategic plan for Alexander Public School (APS) focuses on creating a culture of safety and respect, enhancing student emotional well-being, and encouraging positive behaviors through initiatives like the No Cell Phone Policy, Accountabilibuddies, and Leader in Me. It aims to build a sense of urgency in students to increase their capacity for success using curriculum and advisement, while also creating a physically safe and healthy environment with school-wide training and application of safety protocols. The plan also addresses student performance by enhancing the curriculum, expanding knowledge of the multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS), and implementing a comprehensive system for tracking student behavior and refining decision-making through a restitution matrix. Furthermore, APS aims to expand innovations in STEAM education, course offerings, and enrichment opportunities, while also focusing on strategic facility development and maintenance planning to accommodate growth in enrollment and curriculum. The plan also prioritizes teacher staff recruitment and retention by ensuring competitive compensation and refining orientation processes to foster a supportive and engaging work environment and increase the involvement of stakeholders, engaging them with students in real-world experiences both in and out of the classroom.
