Strategic Plan

 

District 207 logo surrounded by "Every Voice Sharping Our Future" textAbout the plan and work to date

District 207 has been working since the summer of 2025 on a comprehensive strategic planning process. The strategic plan and Portrait of a Graduate that will result from the process will guide the district’s vision, goals and priorities for the next three to five years. 

District 207 sought feedback in September of 2025 from all stakeholders about their thoughts related to the district’s future. More than 900 stakeholders responded to the district survey and more than 40 focus groups and interviews were conducted. Participation by stakeholder groups included more than 200 students, 200 staff members, 300 family members, 240 community members and 100 future family members. 

The initial feedback gathered resulted in the context for the strategic plan that can be found here. 

A strategic planning team that includes students, community members, Board of Education members, parents, staff and administrators has been meeting to review community feedback, look at data and help draft a plan for the district’s future. Ultimately, the committee will recommend a draft of the strategic plan to the Board of Education in the spring of 2026 for its consideration and approval. Once established, the strategic plan will guide the district’s efforts for the next three to five years.

Vision and Portrait of a Graduate

The Portrait of a District 207 Graduate is a draft strategic plan that defines an inclusive and supportive community dedicated to helping students learn, grow, and thrive. The flyer features three circular photos of diverse graduates in their caps and gowns and organizes its core values into three distinct pillars. Under Learn, it emphasizes being persistent, curious, and analytical; under Grow, it highlights being motivated, adaptable, and creative; and under Thrive, it focuses on being empathetic, responsible, and collaborative, with brief descriptions for each trait provided.

The Mission focuses on being an inclusive and supportive community that empowers students to learn, grow, and thrive, while the Vision aims to be a community where all students believe in their potential and find their path.

A presentation slide titled "Ensure ACCESS and OPPORTUNITY for all students" marked as a draft for April 2026. It explains that specific student groups still face achievement gaps based on race and socio-economic status, necessitating targeted support and districtwide systems to ensure equity. The slide outlines three strategies—early identification of needs, expanded access to rigorous coursework, and family partnerships—and three success metrics focused on reducing gaps in achievement and graduation while increasing enrollment in challenging courses.

 

A draft presentation slide titled "Foster a culture of BELONGING and ADVISING" emphasizes the need for consistent relationships and support systems to meet student goals. Strategies include strengthening postsecondary advising, developing systems for social-emotional growth, and providing professional development for staff. Success metrics focus on student and family feedback regarding belonging, alignment of postsecondary outcomes with student goals, increasing the presence of trusted adults, and maintaining 95% attendance rates.

 

A draft presentation slide titled "Ensure clear COMMUNICATIONS and ongoing ENGAGEMENT with district stakeholders" addresses the need for consistent communication and data access to improve accountability and stakeholder trust. Proposed strategies include establishing clear expectations for roles and policies, building transparent communication systems, and strengthening data quality to inform decision-making. Success metrics focus on increasing the percentage of staff reporting clarity in district expectations, improving communication transparency and responsiveness for all stakeholders, and increasing access to reliable data.
