Strategic Plan - Forward95 (2017-2023)

The Forward 95 Strategic Plan was successfully completed as of June 30, 2023. Over the life of the strategic plan, 23 action plans were successfully completed by the district.  One action plan,  classroom furniture design (4B18), was only partially completed - this delay was caused by the pandemic (unique seating/furniture requirements were required to support health/safety of students and staff). The furniture action plan will be fully implemented as part of the new strategic plan, Empower95.

On March 20th, 2018, thanks to the overwhelming support of our voters, an inspiring future was secured for District 95 students, staff, and community. More than 67% of voters supported the District issuing $77.6 million in bonds to fund facility improvements. [Please note, the decrease in bond payments for District 95 will not be reflected on tax bills until 2021.] From air conditioning, to renovated libraries, to a new May Whitney and more, the everyday learning environments have been transformed to better empower students and staff to achieve personal excellence.

In Spring 2018, criteria were adopted for developing an implementation schedule: Quality, Cost, Expense Schedule, Bond Issuance, Schedule, Capacity, and Community. These criteria were used to develop a specific construction timeline for the projects.
