2014 – 2017 STRATEGIC PLAN
CHIPPEWA FALLS AREA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
A RENEWED PROMISE . . . A NEW PERSPECTIVE
The way we plan in the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District (CFAUSD) affects ALL students in our schools, from the first-chair clarinetist in our high school band to the 1st grade student who needs a little help with reading. Our planning strongly supports the programs that empower our students to achieve their potentials. Fueled by our Community Conversation, our goal is to advance our recommitment to our school district vision: Educational Excellence for a

Changing Tomorrow. This strategic plan will equip the CFAUSD to be able to tackle our most ambitious goals and to live up to the Board of Education’s Results Policies, and (most importantly) the expectations from parents and guardians of the students we serve. To support our renewed promise to our vision, our new strategic plan will focus on five key areas of excellence in organizational capability: (1) Student Achievement, (2) Service Excellence, (3) Our People, (4) Finance and Operations, and (5) Growth. This strategic plan is directly related to the Board’s Results Policies and the most significant themes that arose from our Community Conversation. Along with an exceptional faculty, wonderful students and families, and an unbelievably supportive community, this plan will propel us into a new golden age of education for the kids and community of Chippewa Falls.
