2022-2027 Strategic Plan
-
Norman Public Schools strives to deliver the best possible education experience to every student we serve. Doing so requires a clear vision for the future and careful planning on how to achieve that vision. Each year the Norman Board of Education, Superintendent Dr. Nick Migliorino and his leadership cabinet engage in a retreat to evaluate, brainstorm, set goals, define target outcomes and prioritize for the coming years. Through this process, we have identified six categories and have laid out a vision for each that will guide our work in these areas as we strive to accomplish our mission to prepare and inspire all students to achieve their full potential.
Below you will find the 2022-2027 Strategic Plan for Norman Public Schools.
