1002 - ASSESSMENT OF DISTRICT GOALS

One of the major functions of the Board is to work with the administration to establish the goals by which the District can accomplish its mission and to provide the resources necessary for their accomplishment. Because of the importance the Board places on accomplishing goals, it has established the following policy for effective assessment of the District's progress toward their realization.

In consideration of its annual budget development cycle, the Board shall provide the time for both the Board and the administration to assess the progress of the District, during the previous year, toward the achievement of current goals. The assessment of goals shall take place at a time of the year when the following conditions are most favorable to assure this policy operates as intended.

1. There is adequate and reliable data available on results-to-date of each District goal so assessment and evaluation can focus on how well the District is accomplishing its goals.

2. The Board uses this assessment time period to assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole.

3. Summaries and synthesized data, the Board's self-assessment, and the evaluation data on programs, are available to serve as reference information when determining the reasons for progress and/or lack of progress toward the accomplishment of District goals.

This annual process shall not be considered finished until:

1. District goals and the strategies and actions being used to accomplish them have been reviewed and reprioritized;

2. revisions have been made in light of what all of the evaluation data for that year has indicated should be changed or should be continued in order to improve the accomplishment of District goals;

3. the Board develops and implements a plan to improve its own performance as the body charged with the responsibility for the governing of the District.
