The strategic plan progress is measured by outcomes for each of the five strategic goals. Outcome categories are labeled as indicators, and the measures for each indicator are reported in the dashboards. These measures align with the mission and vision of the Rockford Public Schools as well as the needs and expectations of internal and external stakeholders.
Draft long term targets for measures have been set before the start of the 2015-2016 school year for indicators where multiple years of data are available. Indicators and measures will be updated and modified as appropriate. Progress on targets will be identified as:
In Progress - Needs Attention: This status indicates that based on current and trend data additional attention and effort is needed if the target is to be achieved by 2020.
In Progress - On Target: This status indicates that based on current and trend data it is projected that the 2020 target will be met.
Target Achieved: This status indicates that current data shows the target has been achieved.
