Review of District goals Recommendation not to duplicate framework for OCC Organization does not align with C-L-A-S-S Goals focused from a district-wide perspective Does not include unique campus-based perspective OCC should build on goals and integrate into our own framework

Review of College VALUES: C-L-A-S-S Easy to remember, still viable Recommendation to use C-L-A-S-S framework for college goals One college goal per value Restructuring needed to meet OCC’s future needs
