This strategic plan is a recognition by the Cozad Community Schools’ Board of Education
that together with the community we create success. Therefore, in partnership with
stakeholders and the commitment and contributions of the teachers, administrators, and
staff of Cozad, and the district’s external stakeholders: parents, students, community
leaders, and citizens of our community, we are poised to provide the students of Cozad
Community Schools “to be successful lifelong learners through quality education.” We all
have a stake in the success of Cozad and we should all have the opportunity to help
shape the idea of what success looks like for our district. Therefore, collaboration was
central as we embarked upon the strategic planning process. We would like to thank members of the Strategic Overview Committee for their considerable contributions to the creation of this strategic plan.
