Strategic Plan 2020-2025
This guiding document, Blueprint 2025, is provided as a high-level overview of the district’s plan. In addition, we have provided a breakdown of strategies by goal.
Due to the significant and ongoing impact of COVID-19, designation of benchmarked measurable outcomes for each year is difficult to establish at this time. The district will use the 2021 spring assessment results as a baseline for yearly targets based upon each goal.

Bunn Elementary believes that parental involvement means the participation for parents in regular two-way and meaningful communication about student academic learning and other school activities. This ensures that parents are full partners in their child’s academic development and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child. Questions? We are always willing to engage in helpful communication. Please call/contact Christopher Cullom, Principal at 919-496-4015/christophercullom@fcschools.net |
