Mission & Vision
The Mankato Area Public Schools Strategic Roadmap, adopted in 2024, serves as a guiding framework for the district’s future direction. It outlines the mission of “Excellence, Equity, Empowerment — Every Student, Every Day” and focuses on creating future-focused learning environments where all students thrive. Grounded in input from students, staff, families, and community members, the roadmap defines clear priorities for instructional improvement, inclusive practices, student support, staff development, and strong community partnerships. It also emphasizes the “Desired Daily Experiences” that describe what success should look and feel like for students, families, and staff, ensuring that the district’s vision and values are lived out in every classroom and school.
Vision Card
A Vision Card for MAPS defines the organization’s long-term direction and purpose. It describes what MAPS seeks to achieve and how it serves students, staff, and the community. The vision card helps ensure that decisions, goals, and daily actions align with the district’s mission and values.
