Sandusky City Schools is excited about its new Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan process included a diverse committee representing all areas of the community. The committee discussed and agreed upon a list of core values that led the way to the development of strategic priorities. The committee work spanned six months in crafting a five year plan.
