Strategic Plan

Dallas Center-Grimes CSD kicked off a strategic planning journey in the fall of the 2024-25 school year. A strategic plan will provide our district with an updated operational plan and provide a road map to our work as a district system. DCG CSD is partnering with TeamWorks and together we will facilitate this process and seek guidance from all district stakeholders. The 2024-25 school year will feature several feedback opportunities for parents, students, community leaders and staff. DCG CSD’s Strategic Plan will be revealed in the fall of 2025. Updates will be provided via this website, social media and the Mustang Monthly.
