Strategic Plan 2008-2009 - Eastern Suffolk BOCES

Eastern Suffolk BOCES
Related Operational Action Plan VI.B: Agency-wide, Divisional and Site Accreditation
BASELINE DATA:
Eastern Suffolk BOCES was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (agency level, May 2000;
divisional level, October 2001). A successful mid-point review was conducted by a Middle States Association representative in July
2002 (report received November 2002). Seventeen program sites were recommended for accreditation Spring 2004.
IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES:
Target deadlines concerning annual reviews and updates of the agency and divisional plans will be met. Middle States Association
will review progress toward achieving strategic initiatives via mid-point reviews for the agency and divisions. Stakeholders will
continue to be informed and involved in the planning process. A refined process (Plan to Plan) for developing the second seven-year
strategic plan for the agency and divisions will be articulated and implemented.
RESULTS:
Agency and divisional re-accreditation will be awarded by the Middle States Association based upon (a) documented improvement
resulting from implementation of the Action Plans articulated in the first strategic plan and (b) development of a second seven-year
strategic plan for the agency and divisions using an approved planning process.
The agency received a successful second mid-point review in November 2005; 7 of the 14 Educational Services
instructional program sites received successful mid-point reviews in the spring of 2006 with the remaining 7 instructional
program sites receiving successful mid-point reviews in the fall of 2006. A new plan-to-plan for the reaccreditation process
was developed. A Reaccreditation Planning Team was formed and the reaccreditation activities were begun to plan for the
validation visit in December, 2008.
INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR MEASURES:
Evaluation of the impact of each Action Plan will be gathered via evaluation measures articulated within the action plan and
documented in regular newsletters and in annual summary reports for stakeholders. A work product documenting the results of the
strategic planning process resulting in a seven-year strategic plan will be produced and disseminated.
