Set educational plans in a strategic plan.
A school's strategic plan is the school's road map for the next several years. The school board, superintendent and school administrators spend months or even longer on a strategic plan. The document goes through several writing, approval and revision cycles. The strategic plan includes objectives and the planned means to both meet those objectives and measure success. The goals are usually academic performance goals, financial goals and plans for school grounds and buildings. The strategic plan usually covers several years.
