Strategic Plan

BRADLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT 61 STRATEGIC PLAN

In July 2016, the Bradley School Board updated the strategic plan to address the needs of our school district. The strategic plan is based on school, community, and parent input. This strategic plan incorporates a Vision for our students, a Mission Statement, Core Values and identifies Board of Education goals. These ideas are the basis for our District Improvement Planning process.
