Educational planning is necessary if organizational excellence is to be achieved in our public schools. Without knowing where we are going, it is unlikely that we will get there. Educational planning is the roadmap. It focuses the attention of administration, board of education, teachers, students and community members, and helps determine where the school district should be going and how to get there. It helps identify where the pitfalls are over the short-term. Without planning, the operational and functional performance of the school district will be less than optimal and the overall objectives and goals of the district will be difficult, at best to achieve. Educational planning is an organized thought process participated in by administration, board of education, teachers, students and community members. The ultimate result is the determination of long-term goals and objectives, and the short-term implementation of specific goals using focused techniques, tactics, and strategies that will permit the school district to meet long term goals and objectives....
