Potential measures: 

• Annual evaluation reports (by way of Board Committees) for identified major initiatives, including progress toward established success measures. 
• Regular District data/relevant information presented to the Board (establishing an agreed upon schedule to do so). 
• Documentation that major initiatives and recommendations include appropriate background, data, alternatives, and analysis. 
• Analysis of significant changes in external rankings or other comparative measures, including contributing factors and potential responses.
