Integrated Planning & Resource Allocation Decision-Making Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The College\u2019s Integrated Planning, Evaluation, and Resource Allocation Decision-Making Model (IPM) provides the structure and processes for Improvement through effective planning, evaluation, and resource allocation decisions. The IPM integrates short-range, mid-range, and long-term planning to maximize resources to facilitate student access, retention, and success. The cycles of the Educational Master Plan, Facilities Plan, Staffing Plan, and Technology Plan are integrated and ensure ongoing influence of the three-year planning cycle of the Strategic Plan and the Program Review and Planning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Integrated<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Resource Allocation Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Resource Allocation Model (RAM) at the core of the IPM guarantees that College planning priorities and budget assumptions drive resource allocation decision-making. The RAM is the College\u2019s ongoing, transparent, and inclusive process to arrive at an annual balanced operating budget that links available resource allocation and budget requirements to planning and reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Cycles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Palomar College Vision Planning, which includes the Educational Plan and Facilities Plan, operates on a 12-year cycle, with a comprehensive update and assessment in year six. Mid-range plans that support Master Planning, such as the Technology, Staffing, and Capital Plans, operate on a 6-year cycle. Strategic Planning operates on a 3-year cycle, and Program Review and Planning for Instructional programs and Non-instructional departments occur in four-year cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning Alignment with the Colleges Vision, Mission, and Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The College aligns programs and services with its Vision, Mission, and Values as part of the vision planning, strategic planning, and Program Review and Planning (PRP) processes. Together, they inform institutional decision-making, goal setting, and resource allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
