The Farmington Area Public Schools, ISD 192 Strategic Framework is a guiding document that describes the purpose of the school district, its goals as an organization, and how those goals will be achieved. Stakeholder feedback is a valuable and necessary part of our process to evaluate our progress in fulfilling our purpose and achieving our goals. Responses on learner, parent / caregiver, employee, and community surveys help identify strengths and set goals for areas in need of improvement at both the district and individual school level.
We greatly appreciate the time parents, students, staff and community members spend providing feedback to help us in our mission to ensure each learner continuously achieves one’s highest aspirations while demonstrating responsibility to communities through a system distinguished by
passion for continuous growth
honor of diverse perspectives
personal reflection which gives meaning to learning
