A committee has worked for a year to develop the plan, the release said. 

The plan articulates core values and five important commitments to students.

“We had an exceptional committee that created a fantastic strategic plan,” said Maria Libby, SAD 28 superintendent. “It will serve as a beacon for our work and decision-making over the next four years.”

SAD 28 plans to to develop a strategic plan every four years to guide and move the district forward.

“Having gone through strategic planning with the CSD the year before last, we were able to apply our learning and experience to this new plan,” said Libby, in the release. “The process proved efficient, and the resulting plan is one Camden and Rockport can be proud of. The new SAD 28 Strategic plan will help move us forward in a direction that reflects our community priorities.”
