Liberty Central School District is now in the third year of its five-year strategic plan. The district is consistently evaluating its work and is making progress. The district’s mission, vision and beliefs are at the heart of the plan.

To review:

• The mission of the Liberty Central School District is to empower each student to contribute and thrive in a diverse community by pursuing their potential.
• The district’s vision is “cultivating trust and courage to be innovative and to persevere.”
• LCSD believes the mission and vision represent our core values and dedication to remain innovative, forward thinking and focused on all students. To that end, it believes in:
  • Committing to fiscal responsibility.
  • Providing physical and emotional safety for all.
  • Partnering with educators, families and community for all students’ success.
  • Delivering a robust educational program PreK-12.
  • Fostering a sense of belonging.
  • Ensuring all students have the necessary resources to be successful.

What does all this mean?

It means the district recognizes the important role it has in preparing its students for the world beyond the LCSD’s walls. The district must do all it can to give them the tools, knowledge and confidence to be their own person and make a difference in a world that is growing and diversifying while at the same time getting smaller through technology.

The board, administration, faculty and staff strive to give their students a safe place to learn and be innovative, while not being afraid to fail forward (learning from their mistakes and continuing to make progress).

The district does this while keeping in mind and embracing the realities of our community’s financial, social and cultural differences.

“We work to ensure every child who enters the halls of each of Liberty’s schools has the opportunity to not just get by but to thrive within our walls and beyond, making Liberty a great place to learn,” Superintendent Dr. Patrick Sullivan said.

This is the first in a series of messages going out this year that will focus on different aspects of the strategic plan and what it means for LCSD students, staff, families and community.
