Summary of Findings


Collaboration and Communication

Our implementation of shared site-based decision making continues according to the plan adopted in January 1994. Campuses and ILTs need to be empowered with more decision-making responsibility, especially in the areas of budgeting and staffing. Our site-based decision making plan and the decision-making matrix need to be revisited and revised. The new structure of the District must be monitored to ensure that the organization, all of its members, and all of its clients will have opportunities to constantly learn and improve. We must foster more collaboration and better communication with all our stakeholders and employees. We need to learn how to manage and thrive on change.
