At the November 2023 Board of Education meeting, the Rochester City School District launched Invest in Tomorrow, our vision for the future as we begin the implementation of the comprehensive school reconfiguration plan. The heart of Invest in Tomorrow is an unwavering commitment to providing better opportunities for students.

This vision includes middle schools (7-8) focused on preparing students academically and emotionally for high school, promoting athletics through physical fitness, sportsmanship, and personal growth, and providing programs and nurturing spaces, so every student can thrive. To bring this vision to life, the District will implement a new grade structure for elementary (PreK-6) and high schools (9-12).

This strategic approach addresses the District’s enrollment projections while creating better learning and extracurricular opportunities in modernized facilities with highly qualified educators who set high expectations and believe in students’ potential.

Invest in Tomorrow will provide better learning opportunities through high-quality instruction and ensure highly qualified staff and programming in modernized facilities that meet the diverse interests of students. It will align the number of buildings with the student enrollment and provide access to extracurricular activities and resources for social and emotional well-being at all schools.  Moreover, it will strengthen relationships with students and families.
