Strategic Planning
CIESC Administrative Supports offers a comprehensive strategic planning process that seeks to maximize community engagement, provides focused feedback and input from all stakeholders, and results in a plan that has focused goals, strategic actions, clear timelines and accountability.
There are five stages to the CIESC Strategic Planning Process:

We organize our strategic planning process around five key elements, which include:
- Teaching & Learning
- Culture & Climate
- Finance & Operations
- Community Engagement
- Leadership at all Levels
Our team will work side-by-side with district and site administrators to ensure that all of the elements above are closely examined and that constant feedback from stakeholders is considered on a regular basis. The resulting plan, which takes about one fiscal year to complete up to the implementation stage, will ensure that the goals, actions and strategies that are developed will transform your district.
