On Wednesday, during its regularly scheduled meeting, the Prince William County School Board approved the Vision 2025 Launching Thriving Futures Strategic Plan. It is based on four commitments: Learning and Achievement for All, Positive Climate and Culture, Family and Community Engagement, and Organizational Coherence. The Plan also includes a “Profile of a Graduate” built on the Division’s collective vision for PWCS students.

Superintendent Dr. LaTanya McDade released the following statement in regards to the profile. “It is our collective vision that every student will graduate on-time with the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind necessary to create a thriving future for themselves and their community.”

Besides the approval of the plan, McDade proposed FY 2023 Budget, which gives teachers & staff a 4.2% cost-of-living adjustment as well as a step increase, resulting in an average pay increase of 7% for most employees.
