Strategic Plan
91海角社区 Strategic Plan
Adopted by the 91海角社区 Board of Directors
Environmental Analysis
The Athletic Union is committed to monitoring, analyzing and understanding the changing environment in which it operates. In doing so, it will adjust its operations and outcomes to address the needs of its member schools. The Athletic Union also recognizes it will have little if any impact on this changing environment.
Environmental factors include:
Changing demographic trends related to student population
Aging of population of coaches, officials and administrators Impact (positive and negative) of school district reorganization including increased academic opportunities, decreased activity opportunities because of fewer teams, games, etc., greater costs due to increased travel distances
Impact of Federal and State regulations on member schools
Continued impact of participation opportunities outside of school programs
Actions of the State Board of Education and/or State Legislature.
Budget restraints at the local level
In addition to these external environmental factors, the Athletic Union must carefully assess internal factors, both present and future, including:鈥
Promote Coaches and Officials Education
Reduction of funds due to consolidation of schools
Staff tenure and establishment of 鈥渟uccession plan鈥
