District Services’ Department Planning Portfolios For Planning, Evaluation, and Resource Allocation

2013-2016

As part of the Rancho Santiago Community College District’s district-wide planning process, district services conducts an ongoing assessment, similar to the colleges’ program review process, to promote efficiency and effectiveness. The Planning and Organizational Effectiveness Committee (POE), made up of representatives from both colleges and district services, reviews these departmental documents and prioritizes specific recommendations prior to consideration by the District Council. Each department creates a portfolio that describes its department, assesses its functions and services (in terms of staffing, budgeting, customers and services), identifies its service initiative and unit outcomes as they relate to the RSCCD goals and strategic plan objectives, and resources (personnel, technology, and fiscal needs) to compliment the work it produces. The two-year cycle of evaluation encourages department staff to regularly assess their program and the manner in which the needs of their clients/customers are addressed in order to maximize the department’s strengths and implement improvements wherever possible.
