• Millsap ISD Your Child. Their Dream. Our Mission.

     

    In December of 2015, the Millsap ISD Board of Trustees adopted the first Strategic Plan for the school district.  The plan was updated in February of 2018.  It guided MISD’s work for two years as well as kept actions focused.  However, much of the Strategic Plan had been accomplished and, so, the journey to update the plan, yet again, started in July, 2019.

     

    From July through October, district leadership and consultant, Betty Burks met with parents, community members, school board members, students, and staff.  These groups gave their input as to how MISD can accomplish its vision of being PREMIER.  From these discussions, four areas of focus emerged.  On November 21, 2019, committee leaders and members met as a large group and then split into teams.  Over the next three months, these teams wrote Strategy Statements and Tactics as well as created Action Steps that would be needed in order to bring the Plan to fulfillment. 

     

    The action team leaders presented their work to a Strategic Planning committee comprised of students, staff, parents, and community members on February 11, 2020.  The committee analyzed the work, made adjustments and gave approval for the draft plan to be presented to the Millsap ISD Board of Trustees to consider.  Trustees unanimously approved the Plan on February 24, 2020.  This is intended to be a three to five-year plan as its tactics are quite ambitious and provides a Premier Vision.
