Pullman Promise: Our Priorities

In 2019 Pullman Public Schools adopted a new Priorities Plan (often called a strategic plan), which has been named the Pullman Promise. It was developed with significant feedback from listening sessions with staff and students, a ThoughtExchange survey process, and several focus groups. The board spent time making sure common themes were reflected on the priorities plan. The plan is a streamlined way for the district to showcase where our priorities lie, and allow for accountability to the community.
