Funds for the School Improvement Process are allocated from the Department of Continuous Improvement and Professional Learning. These funds are used to support the resources and personnel needs outlined in the School Improvement Plan.

 

Guidelines for preparation of the School Improvement Plan are as follows:

  1. Describe the assessment information which identified the need for the student targets.
  2. State the student targets that were identified.
  3. Briefly describe the interventions and strategies that were developed to meet the student targets.
  4. Identify the costs for resource personnel, substitutes, hourly pay/stipends, professional travel, and instructional materials.
  5. Stipends may be paid to teachers at the currently approved rate for time spent outside the regular school day. Teachers may also be paid on the basis of a contract which is mutually agreed on by the teacher and administrator.
  6. Although plans for the school improvement may cover one fiscal year or 12-month period, it is recommended that plans be written in a multiyear schedule to ensure accomplishment of SIP goals.
  7. Each year, buildings will use student data to evaluate progress toward their School Improvement Goals. Updates to School Improvement Plans, including specific action steps, will be submitted to the director of continuous improvement and professional learning each fall.
  8. School Improvement Plans should integrate to the degree possible the additional goals that are being addressed at the district and school levels.
