North Platte Public Schools is dedicated to providing the highest quality education to each North Platte student from pre-K through grade 12. It is essential to involve the ideas of both school personnel and community constituency. With that emphasis, North Platte School District developed a strategic plan that will guide our district/ school improvement work. The following priority areas have been identified using data North Platte School District’s continuous improvement process; staff, student, parent and patrons’ surveys; and Nebraska AQuESTT resources were used to identify areas that have greatest impact the effectiveness and efficiencies of a school district. AQuESTT - Accountability for a Quality Education System, Today and Tomorrow aligns some regulatory requirements under the umbrella of quality, accountability, and school improvement.
