103.R1 - Long-Range Needs Assessment Process

School districts also need to develop a process for long-range needs assessment.  The process needs to include three items.

• provisions for collecting, analyzing and reporting information derived from local, state and national sources;
• provisions for reviewing information acquired on the following:
  • state indicators and other locally determined indicators,
  • locally established student learning goals,
  • specific data collection required by state and federal programs;
• provisions for collecting and analyzing assessment data on the following:
• state indicators,
• locally determined indicators,
• locally established student learning goals.

The long-range needs assessment process in mandatory but it does not need to be an administrative regulation supporting the long-range needs assessment policy.  It is, however, recommended that it become an administrative regulation to support the policy to ensure completeness and consistency.
