Every two years, the LPEF Board of Directors re-evaluates its Strategic Plan with an eye on how to best fulfill our mission and strengthen the organization for the long term.

This summer, the Board will reflect on input from key stakeholders — teachers, administrators, parents and community supporters — as it updates a Strategic Plan first adopted in 2015, and updated every other year since then. In particular, the Board will review how the COVID-19 pandemic may have shifted needs and priorities. Also, the Board will discuss LPEF’s role in addressing the growing awareness/concern about inequities and social injustices in our community and our schools.

The Board’s current Strategic Plan reaffirms a commitment to our mission and focuses on four key strategies:

MISSION
