Ensure Necessary Resources Are Available To Implement This Strategic Plan Through
Sound Fiscal Planning And Management Of Allocations. Protect Community-supported Status
And Undertake The Development Of Innovative Sources Of Revenue That Support Educational
Programs Beyond That Which Is Available From Community And State Allocations.
Many initiatives to improve student success can be achieved within existing resources.
At the same time, new resources generated from the District's entrepreneurial actions
will add significantly to those resources available to increase student success. Entrepreneurial
actions will draw upon new and existing partnerships throughout the County as well
as the state, nation, and internationally. As the District embarks on the strategies
in this plan, it is critical that the additional resources be invested in innovation,
faculty and staff development, and other productive actions that result in higher
levels of student success, social justice and equity.
