Comprehensive Master Plan

The Board tentatively approved the Comprehensive Master Plan, submitted annually to the Maryland State Department of Education as a requirement of the Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act of 2002. Final approval of the updated five-year plan is expected when required student test results are released by the state and can be incorporated into the master plan document. Our Call to Action: Pursuit of Excellence—The Strategic Plan for the Montgomery County Public Schools 2006-2011 has served as the basis for updating the state-mandated master plan.
