Our Vision and Strategy

In 2019, Billerica Public Schools had just undergone the “Billerica 2019” transition, which involved the opening of the new high school, the closing of the Vining School, the redistricting of elementary and middle schools, and a change in the district’s grade configuration. The district is now looking into the future, asking the questions:

Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, the district worked with PBS staff, students, families and community members to develop a set of strategy themes and strategic priorities. Using these questions to guide that work, the district held multiple community visioning sessions to gather input from the community, and established working groups to use the information from the visioning sessions in developing BPS Strategy Themes and Strategic Priorities.

Since then district has built the District Strategy Plan, based on the themes and priorities and approved by the School Committee on October 25, 2022. This plan will guide the work of the district, schools, and staff as goals are crafted to align with the district’s priorities.

Throughout spring 2022, Four working groups in the following areas developed the district’s strategy themes and strategic priorities.

• Curriculum and Instruction
• School Climate
• Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
• Facilities and Budget
