Strategic Plan 2026-2031


Future planning: Creating a Mehlville School District strategic plan for 2026-2031


The Mehlville School District is nearing the end of the lifecycle of its current strategic plan and is looking forward to 2026-2031. As the district prepares to embark on a year-long journey to draft its Strategic Plan: 2026-2031, we will be asking questions and analyzing what we can do better to meet the goals and priorities identified by YOU – our staff, our parents, our students and our community members.


A strategic plan is critical for a school district because it provides a clear vision and roadmap for achieving long-term goals. It aligns stakeholders — students, staff, families, and the community — around shared priorities, ensuring resources are effectively allocated to enhance student outcomes.


By setting measurable objectives and regularly reviewing progress, a strategic plan fosters accountability and adaptability, enabling the district to respond proactively to changes in education, funding, and community needs.



Forming now: Strategic Plan Steering Committee

The district is seeking community members to serve on the Strategic Plan Steering Committee. These individuals will help lead the charge of gathering community feedback and drafting a new strategic plan.


These volunteers will commit to attending at least five evening meetings to gain an in-depth understanding of current strengths and opportunities of Mehlville School District, review survey data and provide feedback to those drafting the strategic plan. 


Please use this form to express your interest in serving on this committee. The district is working to ensure the committee is inclusive and representative of the community we serve.



Strategic plan meetings

The first meeting of the Strategic Plan Steering Committee will be at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, at the Mehlville High School library (3200 Lemay Ferry Road). 


Additional meetings will be scheduled in the fall of 2025 and posted here.

About school district strategic plans

The Mehlville School District strategic plan will be developed in meaningful collaboration with internal and external stakeholders and will be based upon a data-based needs assessment. The development of the district strategic plan (also known as the Continuous School Improvement Plan or CSIP) is required by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.


Upon its completion, the strategic plan will include items like clear standards of mission and vision, a limited number of focused goals and objectives, evidenced-based action steps and strategies, timelines for implementation and monitoring, persons responsible for implementation and monitoring, and funding sources.
