Long Range Planning Committee Report

"This LRP is organized using the same methodology as was used in the earlier [1989-1990] study.  It involves studying the past, assessing the situation now, benchmarking NC against other schools, and then projecting the future needs and directions from the collected information.  The process is data driven; in other words, conclusions are arrived at from a collection of factual information and its analysis as opposed to precedent, emotion, and “this feels right” type of approach.  This process was used on seven study segment areas.  These were: enrollment, staffing, finances, extracurricular activities, curriculum, fund raising and development, and facilities.  These areas of study are similar to those done in 1989-90 but expanded to be more encompassing than the areas studied before.  Those involved in the current study are John Brown, Michael Cantlin, Jeff Cox, Dave Elwell, Laura Lewis, Tom Lusk, Mike Massaro, Thom McManus, Clair Schell, Dan Swickard, Jim Weisent, and Tom Yonker.  Beth Hill served as the resource person to the committee and John Olinger as the process facilitator. The Committee met weekly for 1.5 to 2 hours from mid–January till the end of May 2006 to complete the study. The final report was issued in August of 2006. " - from Background
