The committee memberswere then asked to take a survey that identified the most important of these prioritiescorrective groups within each of the four assessment categories. The results of thissurvey were then reviewed by District staff and MGT and adjusted to reflect actualbudget requirements and anomalies that could be present in such a ranking exercise.These adjustments were reviewed and accepted by the committee. The results of thissurvey created the calculations for producing a weighted prioritization model for eachcategory.
