STRATEGIC PLAN PROGRESS REPORT AND DASHBOARD 2020-2025

In February 2020, Lincoln’s Board of Governors initiated a Strategic Planning process with the intention of creating a new mission relevant for the evolving needs of students and developing the right organizational goals that would build a stronger, more cohesive school, better prepared for a new future. With information gathered from the community, the outcome was a strategic plan framework with clearly defined strategic objectives and clarity around the focus needed over the next years, to build a pathway towards our new school mission.
 
Soon after the Strategic Plan retreat, the COVID-19 global pandemic spread across the globe. As we consider everything we have learned before and during the pandemic, our desire for transformation has become stronger, and we have more clarity about shifting towards contemporary practices that are more relevant and inclusive, while becoming more cohesive and coherent as an educational organization. The opportunities before us are compelling and significant. The Lincoln community continues to convey a unique spirit of resilience and we know we are capable of the grand and beautiful work of continuous transformation.
 
Below are the four Strategic Objectives that are underway at Lincoln. We have defined specific End Results for each Strategic Objective as well as a series of action steps. During the past years, despite the complex challenges that we faced during the pandemic, we have made steady progress and we are on track towards these objectives.

Strategic Objectives are broad, complex, and substantial areas for attention over the next 3 years. Each Strategic Objective is broken down into specific End Results, which need to be addressed in order to achieve the Strategic Objectives.
