Input from key stakeholders — teachers, administrators, parents and community supporters — helped shape a new Strategic Plan for the La Crosse Public Education Foundation.

The new Strategic Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on Aug. 24, 2015. The plan was developed through a series of Board meetings and with input gathered from three stakeholder listening sessions. It aims to fulfill the organization’s mission by increasing LPEF’s impact in schools and strengthening the organization for the long term.

The plan maintains a commitment to LPEF’s mission and focuses on four key strategies:
