The strategic plan should include a vision for the future, goals to support the vision, initiatives that will achieve the goals, and a performance measure for each initiative with a realistic timeframe and target metric. The strategic plan should include a proposed organizational and leadership structure focused on managing the initiatives as well as next steps for putting that structure into place.
Lesson Learned: Establish a strategic plan document review process that includes key stakeholders at both the state and local levels to maintain the collaborative approach; incorporate all perspectives as fully as possible.
