Comprehensive Plan
The Marion Center Area School District's proposed Comprehensive Plan for 7/1/2022 to 6/30/2025 is under review. If you have any suggested changes, please contact Amy Gaston, Director of Education at 724-397-5551 Ext. 5408 or email at [email protected]. We appreciate any feedback and suggestions from community members, parents/guardians, students, and staff.
Overview:
The 2022-2025 Comprehensive Plan for the Marion Center Area School District was developed utilizing the input of multiple stakeholders representing students, staff, administration, parents, school board members, and the general community. Our district worked to consider and report on what we currently do, as well as to consider our accomplishments and challenges. The analyses of these aspects of our district performance helped us to understand what has helped us to be successful in the past, what it will take to succeed in the future, what must be sustained, and what must be changed. The identified challenges were used to help establish needs, goals, and action steps.
Strategic Direction:
The process in the State's Comprehensive Planning online system closely mirrors one that we are very familiar with - School-Level Planning, which we require our individual schools to do each school year, based on school data. Information from the school-level plans from each of the three buildings in the district was used to help inform the district-level planning document. To view the School Level Plans, please visit each school's site and click on the "About Us" tab.
Strategic Planning Process:
The Marion Center Area School District began its strategic planning process by first completing the Special Education components. This aspect of the process was led by Mrs. Amy Gaston, Supervisor of Special Education. This part of the plan had to be approved by the District and submitted to PDE by June 2022. A new plan has recently been submitted to PDE for approval for the up and coming Comprehensive Plan.
