Strategic Planning & School Board Support
School districts can benefit greatly from a Strategic Planning process that allows them to assess their current environment, establish goals, and develop long-term, proactive strategies for achieving success. In addition, OCM BOCES can provide training and support for school boards and superintendents to enhance their roles as district leaders.
