==This page Describes what Strategy 5 "WAS" as designed by the first Strategic Planning Team. It will provide a nice reference as we design a new strategic plan. The page is titled SYSTEMS in reference to the focus on the delivery "system" and not on student learning which is needed to reach the Strategic Plan Objective's:==
 * At least 97% of our students will meet or exceed district and state standards by 2012.
 * All students will understand, develop and consistently demonstrate the character traits of responsibility, trustworthiness, citizenship, caring, fairness and respect.
 * Each student will achieve challenging personalized goals in preparation for a successful transition to further education or a meaningful endeavor of his or her choice.

Strategy Statement: We will capitalize on the opportunities provided by growth and technological innovation to design facilities, learning environments and delivery systems to best achieve our mission and objectives.

Action Plans:
 * 5.1: Create standards for delivery systems, methods and tools used for the transfer of information to ensure district-wide functional equity. **
 * 1) Inventory current delivery systems within OCUSD 308 and analyze their effectiveness.
 * 2) Seek periodic feedback from teachers and administrators on what is limiting our ability to reach our mission and objectives.
 * 3) Survey best practices of innovative delivery systems to include content specific applications.
 * 4) Survey innovative uses of technology practices within business industry and government.
 * 5) Document delivery system standards that will be used throughout the district.
 * 6) Investigate emerging technologies for implementation.
 * 7) Establish a standards review process.
 * 5.2: Implement standardized delivery systems for teaching and learning for all students and staff. **
 * 1) Audit the learning environment (facilities) to determine technology readiness.
 * 2) Prioritize the implementation of delivery systems.
 * 3) Establish a timeline for implementation.
 * 4) Upgrade facilities to meet technology standards.
 * 5) Procure and install hardware and software, as well as provide access to delivery systems.
 * 6) Establish an ongoing review process.
 * 5.5: Provide training and support resources for implementation and use of standardized delivery systems. **
 * 1) Identify standard competencies and needed support for use of delivery systems.
 * 2) Assess competencies and needed support of all users.
 * 3) Identify resources and support to bring all users up to identified standards.
 * 4) Prioritize the identified resources and needed support.
 * 5) Establish a timeline for delivery system and support implementation.
 * 6) Implement training.
 * 7) Establish ongoing review process.
 * 5.6: Incorporate flexible learning environments in the planning and design of future buildings and renovation of existing buildings. **
 * 1) Research the best practices in learning environment designs.
 * 2) Establish district standards that incorporate best practices.
 * 3) Assess current and future facilities against established district standards.
 * 4) Prioritize the efforts required to bring existing facilities up to district standards.
 * 5) Develop a timeline for implementation.
 * 6) Implement priorities within budgeted resources.
 * 7) Create an ongoing review process.
 * 5.3: Develop partnerships that allow the sharing of learning environments. **
 * 5.4: Incorporate alternative energy sources and “green building principles” in the planning and design of future and existing buildings.**
