PLAN GOALS 2025-2029

Inspiring students to learn, empowering students for life.

Staff, students, families and community members significantly contributed to developing the district’s five-year strategic plan.

We’re grateful for the invaluable input we received during four summits, focus groups, and a survey.

Round Rock ISD administrators have identified several areas of improvement based on community feedback, with potential deadlines for achieving these goals incorporated into the strategic plan.
