- Zionsville Community Schools (ZCS) is launching a Strategic Planning process, and we want to include your voice. This is a valuable opportunity to reflect on our district's strengths, identify areas for growth, and help prioritize what matters most as we shape the future of our schools together.
- We invite students, staff, parents, caregivers, and all community members to participate in this ZCS Strategic Planning Survey, available through Friday, October 4. The survey is anonymous, takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and allows you to contribute your insights. Your feedback is deeply appreciated and will be crucial in this important process.
- Why Participate? Engaging in strategic planning will allow us to prioritize time and resources effectively as we meet new educational standards while supporting the specific educational priorities of our community. This plan will guide us through the 2025–2030 school years, helping us implement new learning opportunities, and prepare for projected enrollment growth.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to contribute to the future of ZCS!
