    PARKLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT District Level Plan 07/01/2019 – 06/30/2022 2 District Profile Demographics 1210 Springhouse Rd Allentown, PA 18104 (610)351-5503 Superintendent: Richard Sniscak Director of Special Education: Andrew Weber Planning Process Parkland School District has a history of educational success and strong community support of the district’s educational mission. The district’s Comprehensive Planning Process involved participation from a variety of stakeholders with the focus placed upon student achievement and continuous improvement. These various stakeholders participated in committees that included both individual school committees as well as an overarching district-wide committee. Each of the eleven schools (eight elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school) created building action plans utilizing a building-based planning team which included administrators, teachers, parents and members of the community including business partners. Each building committee reviewed relevant student performance data, demographic information and parent/community needs assessment results to identify the individual school’s strengths and challenges. A district-wide committee with a make-up of administrators, professional staff members, support staff members, parents and community members, including our business partners, reviewed data obtained from district needs assessments results from community, parent, teacher and support staff members. Following the process provided by the Comprehensive Planning Guidelines from the Pennsylvania Department of Education ensured that consistency was followed allowing for the allocation of resources and support for our district programs with a goal of continuous improvements leading to greater student achievement. The comprehensive planning process began in September 2017 as administrators brainstormed names of parents, community members and business partners who would like to be invited to attend and participate in building and district planning committees.
