At a workshop Sept. 6, the Coppell ISD board of trustees discussed the strategic planning process and upcoming timeline for the 2023-24 school year. The board discussed the district's mission and core values as well as the Community Based Accountability System. The CBAS has seven pillars the district annually reports on to make sure they are being upheld, and this system will be utilized again for this year's strategic planning strategy.

Zooming in

The Strategic Planning Committee, which is composed of faculty, staff, parents and community representatives, is working on developing a plan called Coppell 2030. The committee will have its first retreat in October and will form what's known as action teams to help create action plans. District officials said they will keep the community continuously updated throughout the fall and winter season, and the plan will be formally shared in early 2024 in front of the board of trustees.
