Thank you for visiting our district's comprehensive planning site.
The Union City Area School District is committed to continued growth and collaboration through PDE's comprehensive planning process. During the 2021-2022 school year, our Steering Committee reviewed and developed our 2022-2025 Comprehensive Plan. This plan was shared with our School Board of Directors, faculty, staff, and community in the Spring of 2022. Beginning July 1, 2022, our plan was publicized for its 28-day review period prior to Board approval in August. In August, our plan was Board-approved and submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. You can view the UCASD Comprehensive Plan for 2022-2025 and our required reports via the attachments below.

What is Comprehensive Planning?
Planning for continuous improvement of leadership, teaching and learning is critically important to ensuring that all students have access to a world-class education that prepares them for college, career, and life. Pennsylvania’s cycle of improvement is grounded in evidence-based approaches that can both improve student outcomes and increase return on investment, as resources are spent on programs and practices likely to have a positive impact. Opportunities to create, assess, and adjust throughout the cycle empowers local education agencies and schools to engage all stakeholders in pursuit of a shared vision for student success.
