In September of 2018, the Worcester School Committee adopted Defining our Path: A Strategic Plan for Education in Worcester 2018-2023, the first strategic plan adopted in 26 years at Worcester Public Schools (WPS). The strategic planning initiative was led by Worcester Education Collaborative (WEC) and Worcester Regional Research Bureau (WRRB) in collaboration with WPS and facilitated by the Rennie Center for Education Research & Policy funded through a grant by the Barr Foundation. The process engaged individuals from across the community and was guided by three major bodies: a Coordinating Committee, an Advisory Committee, and five Sub-Committees on each specific focus area. The Focus Areas framed the strategic plan and identified a series of objectives and strategies.
