2009-2010 CCIU Organizational Goals
Each July the CCIU Board of Directors sets goals for the organization for the upcoming year. The purpose of establishing goals is to move the intermediate unit forward and to provide staff with focus as we work together to provide a unified, seamless system of education in Chester County. Listed below are the goals approved on for the 2009-10 school year:
- Execute the necessary steps in the acquisition of property to begin the process of construction of a second Chester County Technical College High School in Downingtown.
- Develop and implement an educationally viable alternative education program targeted at our Devereux 1306 students.
- Implement Year Two of our 2009-2014 CCIU Strategic Plan.
- Establish and expand CCIU’s "Innovation Institute" to assist educators in developing instructional strategies to better prepare students for the 21st Century Global Society.
- Use the staffing, enrollment, and facilities analyses of CCIU programs to assess their efficiency and financial viability, as per our Strategic Plan directive. Provide program recommendations for Occupational Education; CCAEP/Steps; Chester County High School; Choices; Child and Career Development Center; Head Start; and Even Start.
- Continue to provide Act 1 information for school districts, as soon as they need the data, and continue to manage our Chester County Intermediate Unit overall budget within the parameters of Act 1.
- Continue an enrollment growth figure of five percent (+5%) for our CTE student enrollment.
- Seek an additional reduction in our energy use by five percent (-5%) in every IU facility.
- Continue our move to a paperless CCIU - research, design, and pilot paperless purchase orders, insurance claims billing, and on-line employment applications.
- Update the cost:benefit analysis published in May 2007, adding new programs and services as appropriate.
