For more than a decade, TPS has been on a course for positive change through strategic management and continuous improvement. Our current Strategic Plan is a comprehensive roadmap designed to ensure each and every student is prepared for their future and empowered to lead a purpose-driven life.
The design of the current Strategic Plan was completed over the course of a year. TPS partnered with Experience Management Institute (EXMI) to facilitate conversations across the district and gain input and feedback from students, teachers, administrators, families, partners, and community leaders. The new Strategic Plan was adopted by the Board in August of 2023.
Successful execution of the Strategic Plan involves connecting the mission, vision, values, and goals with daily operations focused on student impact. Mr. Brian Murphy ensures collaboration across the district and the Board, leading long-term planning, evaluates priorities, develops organization structure and policies, and supports department planning.
Since Dr. Romules Durant became CEO/Superintendent in 2013, the district has prioritized strategic growth. Building on the momentum of the Transformation Plan, a comprehensive Performance Audit, and the first strategic plan, TPS has expanded its innovative education opportunities, becoming a nationally recognized leader in urban education.
