Mehlville Listens: Your Schools. Your Voice. Our Future.

For the past three years, Mehlville School District has operated in alignment with our strategic plan. This plan guides our work to prepare students for their future, support teachers and create an effective and efficient school district.

Our current strategic plan was created using community feedback gathered during a series of meetings and focus groups in 2015. It’s now time to refresh and revise our strategic plan to ensure we continue to serve the needs of our students and community. Once again, we’re calling on our community to share their thoughts during our Mehlville Listens initiative.

Throughout this school year, we are inviting our community to share their thoughts on the three main tenets of our work as a school district: preparing students, supporting teachers, and being effective and efficient.

Mehlville is listening – we need to hear from you.

Please mark your calendar and join us for the following Mehlville Listens community meetings.
