We are at a watershed moment in the history of public education. Nineteenth century conditions no longer constrain when, where and how learning takes place or how we organize our system—students, teachers, community members, facilities and resources. Current changes and trends are not fads or temporary states. If anything, their effects will magnify over time. We have a unique opportunity and responsibility to address structural challenges in an educational system that was designed for a very different time.
Additionally, this Strategic Plan is written in the context of political and economic factors as well as demographic and social trends. SCCS has gained a reputation for excellent schools, and it believes that adoption of this plan will further raise the profile and performance of our schools. Our successes to date have resulted in continually increasing enrollment (as many young families move to Springboro in part based on this reputation), and it is expected that this trend will continue for at least the next five years.
