6.         Linkage To Other District Planning Initiatives

The contemporary history of the District is rooted in planning and documentation.  This educational master plan has been able to borrow from a number of essential existing narratives, including the District’s mission and goal statements, facilities plan, technology plan, accreditation self-study, economic development study, and the output of the District’s academic program review process.  It was considered essential to develop an educational master plan that was founded on the lessons learned and policies developed from these related efforts.
