Mahwah Plans 3 Public Meetings On Future Of Its Schools

MAHWAH, NJ — Want to discuss strategic plans for the Mahwah Public Schools, how the current "blueprint" is going, and what to do in the next five years?

Three public meetings have been planned to discuss the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan and how the next five years might go.

The meetings will take place in December, January, and April.

The district said in an announcement that the meetings are meant to keep the community "informed our progress toward well-defined goals."

"We’re leveraging the same process to set a blueprint for the next five years," they said, "and we expect the community to once again play a pivotal role. Please join us as we re-imagine, together, what Mahwah Township Public Schools can look like through the next five school years! "

The meetings are as follows, according to the district:

Dec. 16: "Strategic Plan kickoff meeting at Joyce Kilmer School’s gymnasium, starting at 6 p.m. and expected to wrap at 7:30 p.m. An outside facilitator will guide the collective process of gathering information from our respective points of view."

Feb. 27 and April 9: "Future meetings will be used to synthesize our thoughts to crystallize into Strategic Blueprint 2025-2030, and will also work collaboratively to define the unique Flight of the Thunderbird. Locations to be determined."

The district says to RSVP here if you plan to attend.

" The 2020-2025 Mahwah Blueprint was formed after a series of town hall meetings during which community members shared their points of view about our district’s potential," they said. "That feedback served as the basis for our four frames through which our work has been dedicated: those items connected to Curriculum and Instruction, Social-Emotional Learning, Community Connections, and Facilities. We are looking forward to framing out the next five years, and we hope you join us for this important work."

The five-year strategic plan, or blueprint, is here.
