Strategic Plan for Catholic Schools

A Strategic Planning Committee was established to work with Meitler Consultants in developing the plan.  The Committee was comprised of representatives from among pastors, school administrators, Diocesan School Board members, diocesan leaders, local school board members, and Catholic Schools Office leadership.  The members of the Strategic Planning Committee devoted many hours of work to bring valuable ideas, insights, and experience to the process and plan. A Steering Committee, including Bishop Aymond and other diocesan leaders, provided direction and input which also helped shape the plan.
