ABSTRACT
In this paper we match originally collected survey data from school board members in the state of Michigan with hard measures of school district outcomes to test two hypotheses regarding the relationship between strategic planning prioritization and organizational performance. We find that school board members who place a higher priority on strategic planning oversee school districts with comparably higher levels of academic performance. The findings demonstrate a correlation between board governance behaviors and organizational outcomes broadly, and between strategic planning prioritization and outcomes specifically. The results are of interest to practitioners and scholars of strategic planning and public sector governance.
