Strategic Plan

Our Mission

Our mission at Austin Public Schools is to Inspire, Empower, and Accelerate.

At Austin Public Schools, we are preparing all learners to make a difference in the world.

Strategic Roadmap
The Strategic Roadmap is an act of governance that describes on one page the District's Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Strategic Directions.
Desired Daily Experience
The Desired Daily Experience (What Ought to Be) is developed with input and feedback from students, families, and staff. This process includes asking students, families, and staff to produce narrative descriptions of their student, family and staff experiences if the strategic plan was being implemented successfully in their school district. This document sets the foundation for the District Strategic Roadmap and Vision Statements, District VisionCard, and District 3-Year Operational Plan.
Theory of Action
The Theory of Action describes the specific behaviors, beliefs, and actions (not initiatives) to be core practice in all classrooms that employees in the district will take and do to create the conditions and outcomes described in the Desired Daily Experiences and ultimately meet the mission of the district.
