The West Virginia Strategic Plan aims to nurture and inspire West Virginia's children to embrace their potential and make a difference in the world. Its vision is to provide an effective and quality learning system that empowers students to become lifelong learners, responsible community members, and workforce-ready. The plan is founded on seven standards for effective schools and utilizes key measures such as school readiness, academic proficiency, attendance, and graduation rates to track progress. It guides school improvement and Communities In Schools (CIS) efforts, addressing both academic and non-academic needs through measurable goals.
