Mount Lebanon superintendent reports steady progress on strategic plan; online dashboard launched
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Fries told the school board on Oct. 20 that four strategic tactics are complete, 27 are in progress and one has not started; the district also launched a public dashboard and highlighted completed items including an elementary emotional support classroom, single sign-on rollout and centralized online enrollment.
Mount Lebanon School District Superintendent Dr. Fries updated the Mount Lebanon Board of School Directors Monday, Oct. 20, on the district’s 2025–26 strategic plan, reporting that a new online dashboard is live and that the district has four completed tactics, 27 in progress and one not started.
Dr. Fries said the dashboard on the district website will be updated monthly and lists each tactic’s status, due date, notes and last update. "As of today, there are 4 that are complete, 27 that are in progress, and 1 that has not been started yet," she told the board.
The update covered work across communications, curriculum and student supports. Completed items noted in the presentation included a new elementary emotional support classroom at Lincoln Elementary to serve students with social, emotional and behavioral needs; implementation of “Libo ID” single sign-on for staff and families; and expansion of centralized online student registration, which went live Aug. 11 and produced 42 enrollments in the first week.
Dr. Fries also described ongoing curriculum reviews in several subjects and grade bands: K–12 social studies, health and physical education, K–8 science, elementary MTSS, 6–12 ELA and K–5 math. She said the elementary science curriculum had completed stages 1–3 and ELA had completed stages 1–2 in Atlas, the district’s curriculum platform, and that updates and revisions for middle and high school materials should be complete in the coming months.
The superintendent noted system-improvement work to reduce login friction and duplicate rostering, and described integration work between PowerSchool and Schoology to streamline access to IEPs and other student documents from a single place in PowerSchool.
Board members and staff emphasized monthly public communication tied to the dashboard, and Dr. Fries highlighted upcoming community engagement events including a Steps with the Superintendent walk for residents 55 and older (Oct. 28), a business roundtable (Nov. 6) and a board meeting focused on special education and student services (Nov. 10).
The district presentation and the dashboard aim to make progress on the strategy transparent to families and the public.
The board received the update; there was no formal vote on the strategic plan items.
