This will be accomplished by assessing the attainment of previous goals and planning for future goals outlined in the District’s Middle States Evaluation and Long Range Strategic Plan. Ensure all resources are expended in relation to the district goals and plan, and are driven by student achievement. In order to do this, adequate levels of measurement, data collection and analysis must be completed. Demonstrate that the Administrative Team and the Board of Education have made sound budgeting decisions that are in the best interests of the school community and aligned with student needs.
