Between November 2021 and June 2022, the Steamboat Springs School District, in collaboration with Colorado Education Initiative, engaged in a process designed to create a strategic plan that outlines a coherent vision for the district. The strategic plan describes the priorities that will guide the district's actions and identifies the measurable targets that will allow us to monitor our progress towards our goals.
On June 12, 2022, the Board of Education adopted a new strategic plan for the district.
The strategic plan is available to view in English and Spanish.
