Strategic Planning Process 2025-2030
Dear Linden Families,
We need YOU to help us prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s world!
As Superintendent of Schools, it is my pleasure on behalf of the Linden Public Schools District Board of Education to invite YOU to participate in our Strategic Planning Process committee. This committee will be a focused group of administrators, faculty, staff, students, parents, and guardians. We will work together to create a shared vision for the district and identify both the strengths of the school district (those unique attributes that we can build on as we move into the future) and the critical issues that we will face (the challenges that the district must be prepared for in the future). We met on three occasions in the evenings on October 29, November 12, and January 14.
The first meeting of the Strategic Planning process will take place on Tuesday, November 12, at 6:00 p.m. in the School No. 8 cafeteria (sign-in at 5:45 p.m.). Their address is 500 W. Blancke Street, and there is a parking lot. We will work in small and large groups, and the discussion will lead us to a consensus document that will identify our community’s vision, strengths, and challenges for our district and develop goal areas that focus on the future of our schools.
The New Jersey School Boards Association will facilitate this process. The Board of Education will use this document to help shape future goals for the district as we move forward.
If you have any questions, please contact me. Participation in any or all three of our meetings will be greatly appreciated.
Take care and be well,
Atiya Y. Perkins, Ed. D.
Superintendent of Schools
