The Camp Lejeune Dependents Schools participate with the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) in a Community Strategic Plan (CSP), initially implemented for 2001-2006 and recently updated for 2006-2011.This CSP contains strategic direction for all of Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA), including the DoD Domestic Dependent Elementary & Secondary Schools (DDESS) within the continental United States where DoD operates schools, and the DoD Dependents Schools (DoDDS) for dependents outside the continental United States.

The process used to develop this updated five-year plan included representation from DoDEA constituencies around the globe. This leadership team of parents, military leaders, and educators used a process characterized by intensity, focus, and consensus. They reviewed and reevaluated the existing plan and supporting research. The revised plan was reviewed by the Dependents Education Council (DEC), consisting of senior military members from commands worldwide. The final document includes a vision, mission, guiding principles, four goals, outcomes, measures, and milestones.

The CSP process allows us to identify broad goals for our schools. Schools and districts then develop specific steps to take in reaching these goals and appropriate ways to measure our progress.

The Camp Lejeune Dependents Schools and DoDEA share the same Mission & Vision to lead the planning and improvement process.

This Community Strategic Plan (CSP), simply put, has four goals:

Goal 1: HIGHEST STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
All students will meet or exceed challenging standards in academic content so that they are prepared for continuous learning and productive citizenship.

Goal 2: PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN, EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
DoDEA will use a performance-driven management system that operates in a timely, efficient and equitable manner; places resource allocation and decision-making at the lowest operational level; and facilitate a safe environment conducive to optimum student achievement.

Goal 3: MOTIVATED, HIGH PERFORMING, DIVERSE WORKFORCE
The DoDEA workforce will be motivated, diverse, and committed to continuous professional growth and development resulting in exemplary performance and optimum student achievement.

Goal 4: PROMOTING STUDENT DEVELOPMENT THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION
Every level of DoDEA will develop, promote, and maintain partnerships and communications to enhance student development.
