Federal Way Public Schools has embarked on a Strategic Planning Initiative to develop the vision and direction for enhancing student achievement and success in the coming years.

The strategic plan will be our roadmap toward a future vision and provides unity, clarity and direction to the important work of the district.

In developing our plan, the District will use an approach that is inclusive and intentional and values all voices, and will continuously engage all stakeholders within the Federal Way Public Schools community.

This work must be collectively developed by members of our greater school community. There will be many opportunities to provide input on the Strategic Plan over the course of the year. 

We hope you’ll join in shaping what our school system should do and be for our community’s children.

To develop our strategic plan, Superintendent Dr. Tammy Campbell launched an extensive community and stakeholder engagement process. Using a structure of planning teams, as well as gathering data and input from stakeholders, this plan outlines a vision for our schools, guides the work of our educators, and serves as a roadmap to attain the vision and enhance student achievement.

A Core Planning Team, representative of all Federal Way stakeholders, helped lead the Strategic Planning process. Additional teams included the Alignment Team and the Instructional Focus Team. 

Students, families and community members have many opportunities to participate, as members of our Core Planning Team, as participants at community forums and at a student voice forum.

Alignment Team
