School Administration, 3. Student Records, and 4. Policies and Procedures) in one of the four

categories below, based upon the judgement of the Steering Committee members.

Please place each of the Education Program Topics (Part 2 of the Assessment Template) in one

of the four categories below, based on the Summary Statements.

2. A program area that is fairly well established and will require only a minor level of time,

Using the Categorized Topics

to Establish Priorities for the School Growth Plan

Please describe the process you used to review the categorized topics and establish 2-3

priorities for the school growth plan. (see Handbook of Tools page 11)

Note: The FNSA recommends that you select a maximum of one topic from Category 4 (not

well established), one from Category 3 (somewhat established), andperhaps one from Category2 (fairly well established). This recommendation is intended to ensure that the school growth

plan goals can be achieved within a three-year timeframe and with a realistic level of resources.
