The information contained in this paper was taken from documents used for the development and implementation of the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District's Long Range Plans and can be used in other districts' goal planning and implementation processes. The first three items, Philosophy of Education, Mission Statement, and General Goals, provide the basis upon which all district activities originate. An idea of the preliminary thinking that precedes the development of a Long Range Planning Report is exemplified by the Long Range Planning Statement. Ten district priorities which are the heart of the long range plan as well as the essence of the school community's beliefs, aspirations, and priorities, are detailed in this paper. Goal setting and implementation information is provided with examples of district and building goals that have been developed and implemented over the past 5-year period. Examples of building goals are provided in appendix A, and ideas for goals obtained during a brainstorming session with 53 citizens, staff, administrators, and board membes are listed in appendix B.
