Mission
Our Mission is to ensure educational success through high expectations and innovative thinking in a safe learning environment to empower students to reach their full potential as responsible, ethical, and productive citizens in a diverse and changing world.
Strategic Plan
The current Flagler Schools Strategic Plan was developed to inform our decisions and drive progress since 2021. Due to the success of this model, we have extended our most recent Flagler Schools District Strategic Plan through June 2026. Revision of the plan is ongoing to ensure that it is responsive to the evolving needs of our stakeholders.
Six areas were identified as being paramount in moving Flagler Schools forward while continuing to provide a high-quality education to the families of Flagler County:
- Academics
- Educational Equity
- Resiliency and Well-being
- Talent
- Operational Efficiency
- Communication
