Strategic Plan 2019-2024
The La Crosse Public Education Foundation is guided by a Strategic Plan that aims to fulfill our mission by increasing our impact in schools and strengthening the organization for the long term.
With input from key stakeholders — teachers, administrators, parents and community supporters — an updated Strategic Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on Aug. 25, 2019. This five-year plan builds on a plan originally approved in 2015, and updated in 2017.
The plan maintains a commitment to our mission and focuses on four key strategies:
