Amherst County Public Schools 2019 -2024 Comprehensive Plan ~ Student Video

We are excited to share this student focused video that highlights the insight our students achieve while attending Amherst County Public Schools. Here is some background information that help inspire the video. In Amherst County Public Schools, we begin the 2019-2020 school year with all of our schools accredited by the Virginia Department of Education. This accomplishment marks the second year in a row that our school division has achieved such levels. While this is outstanding news for Amherst County Public Schools, this information serves as just the jumping off point for our journey. A journey that should lead to a school system that focuses on creating a culture that inspires excellence in academics, career readiness, and citizenship in every child, every day. To complete this journey, we need a plan that will provide focus, direction, consistency, and transparency for this school division and the greater Amherst community. After ten months of dedicated efforts from parents, staff, administrators, community members, and business leaders the 2019-2024 Amherst County Public Schools Comprehensive Plan is complete.

This comprehensive plan organizes our work into six crucial areas: (1) Equity; (2) Community Engagement; (3) Human Resources; (4) Operations; (5) Student Support; and (6) Student Outcomes. These six areas, along with the associated objectives, will drive the thinking, decision making, personnel actions, and financial investments of Amherst County Public Schools during the next five years. We are excited to get to work in making these plans a reality for our students and community; and we would like to invite you to become active participants in this worthwhile journey.
