Bladenboro Primary School

Help Shape the Future of Bladen County Schools! 🎓✨

We're embarking on an exciting journey to develop our next strategic plan, and we want YOU to be part of it! With North Carolina's new state strategic plan recently released, now is the perfect time to ensure our local priorities align with state goals while reflecting what matters most to OUR community.

We need YOUR voice!

Whether you're a parent, student, staff member, or community member, your input is invaluable. We've created a survey that asks:
What priorities matter most to you for our students?
Which focus areas should guide our work over the next 3-5 years?
Are you interested in serving on our strategic planning committee?

📱 Take the Survey: Available now through Friday, January 23

🔗 Access the survey at the link below.

This process is just beginning. We're committed to being thorough and thoughtful as we chart our course forward together. Every voice matters, and we can't wait to hear from you!
