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 required 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 is 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.
