The North Carolina New Schools Project (NCNSP) is reaching out across the state and nation for input and recommendations as it builds Vision 2015: Scaling Excellence in Public Education. NCNSP's mission is to accelerate systemic, sustainable innovation in secondary schools across the state, with the vision that every student in North Carolina graduates ready for college, careers and life. Vision 2015 will build upon the vast cultural, scientific and technological assets of North Carolina to ensure that schools evolve as engines of creativity and invention, equipping and inspiring the future innovators, leaders, and citizens of our state.
To inform NCNSP's strategic planning process, the Board of Directors will enlist the input and recommendations from individual stakeholders, as well as a group of experts through targeted input sessions, described below. Following the sessions, the Board will finalize its three-year strategic plan, which will begin on July 1, 2012.
