Earlier deadline for abbreviated strategic action plans and other critical updates

January 12, 2015 by Leave a Comment

The budget process timeline for 2015-16 has been posted on the Strategic Planning and Budget Committee (SPBC) site.  As was done last year, the abbreviated Strategic Action Plan (aSAP) process will be used to evaluate new funding requests.  However, there are several differences in this year’s process.

The major change in this year’s process is the earlier submission date for aSAPs which is February 13th.  The reason the submission date is earlier is to provide more time for the SPBC to review submitted proposals, and more importantly, to provide the opportunity for a submitter to answer any questions that arise during the review process.

A second change is that the aSAP application must be completed online, much like the MCO process or the Budget Planning System. The aSAP application is now available at shoreline.edu/asap. Use your standard Shoreline account username and password to enter the system.

As a reminder, the purpose of the Strategic Action Plan process is to align the college budget with the Strategic Plan in an open and transparent way. The major objective of any aSAP request must be aligned with the strategic goals/initiatives of the college.

The Strategic Plan was updated by the SPBC for 2015.

The aSAP process need NOT be used for budget requests that are more operational in nature (keeping the “lights on and doors open”).  These requests can be made through the Budget Planning System.

The SPBC will offer training sessions on the aSAP process open to anyone during January 20th – 23rd at the following times:

Submitted aSAPs will be evaluated by the SPBC based upon how well the proposed strategic objective aligns with the College’s strategic goals, strategic initiatives, and core themes.   SPBC recommendations will be given to ELT by the start of Spring quarter to help them evaluate the original aSAP as the budget for the 2015-16 year is constructed.

In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the process please email me with questions at ghamilton@shoreline.edu
