Trustees Budget presentation Aug 11-Westlake Academy
The ? is deliberate.
Strategic Planning 2008 - ?
Westlake Academy
•The Head of School cannot set this alone.
Strategic planning needs direction from the
Board of Trustees and the Town Manager as
CEO of the Academy. It would be wrong to
present the Academy’s goals and objectives
until the Board has had its Strategic Retreat in
September.
Westlake Academy
•The school’s vision has always been clear – to
be a successful IB school. It is how we achieve
this that needs to be addressed.
Westlake Academy
•I appreciate it is normal for a budget to be
driven by a strategic plan, but this budget is
primarily operating costs, not long term
development, which is funded in other ways .
Westlake Academy
•There are areas that I would consider possible to
target, and can be stated before the Retreat.

Once the Trustees, the Town Manager and
the Academy SMT have agreed on their
vision at the Retreat, it will be possible to
expand this vision, as well as putting in place
a strategic plan of action for the next three or
five years, of which 2008-9 will be a part.
