Now is the time to set your companion annual agendas—the annual Board agenda and the annual operations (or administrative) agenda. ISM recommends this approach as the most efficient means of implementing your strategic plan. With this approach, both the Board President and the School Head will set aside time toward the end of the school year to establish these two short, but critical, documents in preparation for the upcoming year. (In practice, the President's annual Board agenda is often set in May or June; the Head's annual operations agenda, in July or August. The exact timing is of little consequence.)
