A standard is a statement of desirable practice as set forth by experienced and <br /> recognized professionals. Standards are an indirect measurement of effectiveness, <br /> using the cause and effect approach, or perhaps more appropriately stated "IF ... <br /> THEN," IF one acts in a certain gray, THEN it is expected that there will be a certain <br /> result. So, if a desirable standard is practiced, then a good outcome should be <br /> forthcoming; if an agency engages in those standards which are recommended, then <br /> there should be a quality operation. standards enable evaluation by comparison; <br /> comparing ghat is within an agency operation with what is accepted by professionals as <br /> desirable. <br /> These standards are not a quantitative measure of the local availability of <br /> funds, lands, personnel, et al, but of operational practices which are <br /> desirable to provide adequate park and recreation services and programs <br /> for the population to be served. <br /> Standards are NOT maximal goals, but minimal and should be used as a <br /> guide to upgrade to the desirable practices. <br /> Standards are not a degree of quality index, that is, cannot be used for <br /> comparative purposes of competition among agencies. <br /> Standards are not a cure-all for agency problems, but certainly conducting <br /> an agency's operation in accord with standards can prevent many <br /> problems and lead to high quality services and program. <br /> Standards can be a dynamic force for change by stimulating park and <br /> recreation professionals and the corporate policy body toward better and <br /> safer services, programs, and innovations. <br /> These Standards should be distinguished from other types of standards which address <br /> specific elements, such as open space standards which are population-based and <br /> playground equipment standards, which are product-based. These Standards are <br /> comprehensive and require much self-assessment and study. They are not a quick- <br /> check, self-evaluation instrument. <br /> The focus-of the Standards is on the operational system overall, rather than on specific <br /> elements of services or programs. The Standards are organized into ten major <br /> categories: Agency Authority, Role and Responsibility} Planning} Organization and <br /> Administration; Human Resources; Finance (Fiscal Policy and Management); Program <br /> and services Management; Facility and Land Use Management; safety and Security; <br /> Risk Management; and Evaluation and Research. Each category is composed of a <br /> varying number of standards. The categories are not weighted as to importance, but <br /> all are essential to quality operations. <br /> The process for re-accreditation includes: <br /> 1. Completion of a departmental self-assessment. (currently 'in progress) <br /> 2. Filing the assessment report with the National Accreditation Office.. Due May <br /> 1999 <br /> 3. Hosting a site visitation team. (tentatively scheduled for June 10-12, 1 999) <br /> 4. Review by National Accreditation commission. (October 19919) <br />
