In the Fall of 2015, Hillsborough Township Public Schools began the process of planning for the future of our district. We appreciated the many students, staff, parents, and community members who gave of their time to participate in those early strategic planning meetings. Based on those discussions, the district created three focus areas to research as we moved forward in our planning process:
-
Maximizing college and career readiness
-
Providing optimal early childhood education
-
Individualized learning opportunities and enhancing student life
District work groups were created based on the three focus areas. Each group has spent the 2016-2017 school year researching and examining their topic in great detail. These comprehensive reports were presented to the Board of Education and the community at the November 13 and November 27, 2017, Board of Education meetings. Each group’s report included research, rationale, and recommendations as it related to their focus area. The Board will use these reports to help them make a well informed decision regarding the priorities that will steer Hillsborough Township Public Schools for the next five years.
Below you will find each report divided by subsection as well as the accompanying presentation video from the Board meetings. To view the document in its entirety, please click here.
