The purpose of this study was to examine the process of developing a strategic plan for school districts through communication and involvement of all stakeholders. This process takes into consideration the diverse concerns and principles; supports scholarly and coherent decision making; and employs the development of a strategic plan through both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. As a final point, strategic planning should be able to show where we are; where we want to go; how we will get there; the time line involved; and the cost associated with the project. The strategic planning technique is easily adapted to various organizations including school districts. In the past decision and planning process was incorporated by a select group of leaders at the top of the hierarchy of the organization. However, many diverse groups within the organization should have the ability to have input in the plan the process of analyzing various situations and deciding in which direction the organization would move. The consequences of this planning advanced a document now attributed as a strategic plan. Once the plan has been developed and approved it is then implemented over a specific period of time.
