Cassandra, We feel that Planning is a must regardless of how long the institution has been functioning. As schools get more mature it is even more important to put Plans in place. You don't want to get lulled into doing the same thing. You have to be careful to ensure that your programs are up to date and relevant and meeting the ever changing needs of the community. There are many new opportunities and it takes the brainstorming and planning to identify them and make that happen. For new and ongoing growth a Plan is always essential. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
