Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District Updates its Strategic Plan

With the need to update our 3-year strategic plan, the district invited community stakeholders together to revisit the themes and progress from our 2020 Community Conversation. Administrators and staff members updated the strategic plan to reflect our progress and goals for the future in Cardinal Vision 2023-2026.

Goals, Mission, Mega Result, and Commitments

The Background

district logo

Strategic planning is not a new initiative for the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District (CFAUSD). In 2004, Superintendent Mike Schoch led a group of stakeholders through a three-day event resulting in a list of district beliefs, a mission statement, strategic goals, district strategies, and our vision statement of Educational Excellence for a Changing Tomorrow. This progressive approach to continuous improvement started CFAUSD’s journey toward institutional excellence and set a strong precedence for deliberate leadership and organizational focus. In 2014 our community came together to give input on the future of strategic planning. We renewed that vision and visited our progress again in 2020 and 2023. 

"A Community Conversation for Educational Excellence"

In the fall of 2013, the Board of Education for the CFAUSD began a landmark event and process, “A Community Conversation for Educational Excellence,” reigniting the practice of strategic planning. The Board convened a group of 140 community stakeholders to develop a deeper understanding of community expectations. In 2020 and 2023, we convened a group of community stakeholders again to demonstrate progress toward the goals the community set for us as well as get input on how to move forward with an even brighter future.

A New Strategic Plan

This new strategic plan equips our faculty and staff to tackle our most ambitious goals and to live up to our community's expectations. To support our renewed promise to our vision, the strategic plan focuses on four key areas of excellence in organizational capacity: (1) Student Success, (2) Caring Culture, (3) Our People, and (4) Finance, Facilities and Operations. Fueled by this new strategic plan and our focus on aligning community expectations, Board governance, and administrative implementation, our ultimate goal is to advance our commitment to CFAUSD's vision of "Educational Excellence for a Changing Tomorrow!"
