The Austin Independent School District Superintendent of Schools required a process for monitoring district activities. The Office of Research and Evaluation developed LOOP (Linking Outcomes to Organizational Planning). LOOP is a management information system through which progress in a number of activities within the school system may be monitored. This report describes LOOP and its successful use in observing progress toward addressing the 25 school board priorities established for the 1984-85 school year. LOOP was found to be an efficient management system for tracking progress in key areas. Recommendations were made that LOOP continue to be used to monitor progress; that periodic status reports continue to be published for administrative use; and that quarterly reports on the school board priorities be used by the superintendent to monitor task completion. Each priority is listed with its ultimate objective and committee and with its action/decision and key activities. (DWH)
