Strategic Plan for Peru ESD 124

Every highly effective organization has a plan for continuous growth and success, and schools should be no different. A Strategic Plan for Peru Elementary School District 124, was developed with the input of faculty and staff, and survey results from parents and graduates. This plan was adopted by the Peru Elementary School District 124 Board of Education on May 2, 2017.

On May 15, 2024 Superintendent Craven, and the Board approved the current Strategic Plan goals and strategies and determined which goals and strategies to maintain for future planning. 

Our latest in a series of three-year strategic plans was developed with clear, focused goals and strategies that can be easily reviewed and measured. Progress will be reviewed semi-annually. Click here to view the Teaching for 2027 Strategic Plan, including all five goals and 17 strategies. 

Our Mission

Preparing our students to learn, grow and reach their greatest potential.

Our Beliefs and Values

Children are why we are here, and their education, safety and well-being must always come first.

There is no replacement for high expectations, and we must expect and support our students to achieve to the best of their individual ability.

All children can learn – even if not at the same pace or in the same way – and show constant growth.

Reading, literacy and mathematics are the foundations of learning, academic excellence and are the keys to maximizing future success.

Effective education is a partnership among schools, parents, families and our local community.

Fiscal responsibility is critical to ensuring that we continue to provide our students with the highest quality educational programs and instruction.
