Your Path to Success Starts Here
Strategic planning has everything to do with ensuring that the school has a viable, sustainable future and that the board and administration have reviewed all factors in developing a plan that recognizes the unique characteristics of their school. Sometimes the school is unclear as to the path to follow that will result in a meaningful plan that addresses all aspects of the school’s future and the priorities to accomplish over time.
The board’s role in the strategic planning process is to provide leadership and recognize the vital role of all constituencies to maximize results. One of the fundamental responsibilities of the board of trustees is to engage and implement the school’s strategic plan, therefore charting a course and setting in motion steps to enhance the school. The effectiveness of this process will determine the school’s future.
A number of essential steps, when addressed and followed properly, will provide the most benefit to the school.
