Strategic Plan

Toledo Public Schools serves more than 22,000 students in two preschools, 41 elementary schools, and 12 high schools, plus a Virtual Academy for students in first through twelfth grades.

In December, 2013, Dr. Romules Durant became the CEO/Superintendent and set the school district on a course for positive change. Building on two significant endeavors -- the highly acclaimed Transformation Plan and an inclusive Performance Audit -- TPS has worked diligently to create a platform for new and innovative programs and curriculum offerings.

In 2014, with transformation and change well on its way to making TPS a nationally recognized urban school district, district leaders determined that it was time to develop a Strategic Plan that would serve as the vision and road map for the future. After a year of working with Battelle For Kids and soliciting input from teachers, administrators, students, parents and community and civic leaders, the Strategic Plan was implemented in the 2015-2016 school year.
