Comprehensive Plan

The Comprehensive Planning Process for the 2026-2029 School Years

 Comprehensive Plan Pillars 26-29

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) requires each school district, every three years, to conduct a process to create a Comprehensive Plan.  In Palisades, this plan becomes the structure for the development of goals and areas of focus for the Superintendent and the administration.  Together, with staff, parents, community members, and other stakeholders, the Palisades School District completed the process in February, 2026.
