Comprehensive Plan 2025-2028

Comprehensive Planning is a process required by the state every 3 years, by which The Southern Lehigh School District systematically examines all aspects of the educational system and determines areas of successes and areas of challenges.  Guiding the Comprehensive Planning process is the consideration of factors such as curriculum, student growth, achievement data, and stakeholder feedback that are utilized to create goals and action plans. The Southern Lehigh School District values collaboration in all aspects of our work and district goals, highly valuing the input of all stakeholders.  Stakeholder participation and feedback  is crucial in shaping the future of our schools.  We believe that collaboration with parents, students, staff, and community stakeholders ensures that our comprehensive planning reflects the needs and aspirations of those we serve. 

The Comprehensive Planning process requires The Southern Lehigh School District to review and analyze performance data, identifying both successes and areas for improvement. It also highlights the key factors for enhancing performance, aligns all stakeholders on a clear path forward, and informs the strategic allocation of resources. Outreach for stakeholder participation took place in October, 2024.  Steering Committee Meetings took place on December 16, 2024and February 18, 2025.  Regular updates were provided during regularly scheduled Education Committee meetings.  The DRAFT Comprehensive Plan will be available for 28 days, beginning February 24, 2025. If you have any suggested changes or questions regarding the comprehensive plan, please email comprehensiveplan@slsd.org. The Southern Lehigh School District Board of Education will vote to approve on March 24, 2025. Thank you to everyone who demonstrated support of the Southern Lehigh School District through their participation in the Comprehensive Planning process.
