New Leaders

Our partner in strategic planning – New Leaders

A team of DMPS staff members reviewed proposals from 14 companies in March, 2024, and determined New Leaders was the most prepared and qualified to lead the development of the DMPS Strategic Plan. New Leaders works across the country to develop transformational, equity-minded school leaders and advance policies and practices that ensure high academic achievement for all children – especially students of color and students from communities with lower incomes.

Our dedicated New Leaders partners, Michelle Pierre-Farid and Ashley Martin, led the work of the Strategic Planning Committee in the development of the DMPS strategic plan.
