Federal Way Public Schools
Strategic Plan
Key Beliefs
The Federal Way Public Schools Board of Education believes that our public schools are significant community resources and assets, contributing to the strength and vitality of the community we serve.
We envision the Federal Way Public Schools to be a system of schools that are chosen by families who select living here so that their children may attend our schools; that are chosen by employees who find their work challenging and fulfilling; and that are recognized by our community stakeholders as demonstrating consistently high achievement.
We believe we, as a Board of Education, are elected by our community to function as stewards for their investment in the present and future through public education. This foundational belief in our collective role as stewards, responsible for governance, is the driving force behind every Board activity in which we engage.
We provide leadership and direction by collectively exhibiting our beliefs, articulating our shared vision, evoking our mission, and demonstrating our results, and focusing our limited resources through a sound strategic plan.
