Comprehensive Planning at the Pleasant Valley School District

Pleasant Valley School District's current Comprehensive Plan runs through the 2021-2022 school year.  The district's subsequent Comprehensive Plan is currently in development, to be submitted to the state by March 30, 2022. 

What is Comprehensive Planning?

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) requires each school district in the Commonwealth to participate in Comprehensive Planning - a continuous process used to ensure that all students achieve at high levels in preparation for future life endeavors. 

Chapter 4 of the PA School Code stipulates this planning requirement for every school district in Pennsylvania to be submitted on a three-year cycle.

To this end, all Local Educational Agencies (LEA) work toward the creation of a highly effective learning environment ensuring the academic and personal success of all students. Continuous planning is essential to increased student performance and quality results. Innovative, student centered, and research-based programming, coupled with focused staff development, aligned resources, and public participation are critical factors for our district  to demonstrate continuous and meaningful growth.
