Strategic analysis for school district no.73 (Kamloops/Thompson)

School District No.73 (Kamloops/Thompson) is responsible for the education of kindergarten to grade twelve (K-12) students in the Kamloops-Thompson region of South Central British Columbia. With declining enrolment and increased pressure to operate non-core business services for less, districts are challenged to save money by considering alternate ways of doing business. This report includes a benchmarking study that compares the financial results from the 2004-05 operating statements for six neighbouring school districts within the region. The comparison establishes a potential savings in business services of $1.6 million dollars. This analysis addresses the issues and challenges that confront public sector organizations faced with implementing change.
