Completion of Data Analysis
and School Improvement Planning |
POLICY STATEMENT
|
|
Each year the standing School
Improvement Plan committee shall work with the school district planning
coordinator to complete data analysis and update the school improvement plan.
(If the school has component and school improvement plan managers, they will
work under the supervision of the principal.) The committees (and managers)
shall adhere to timelines set in statute for data analysis and plans to close
the achievement gaps in their school.
The principal will update the school council each month as to the
progress of the school plan process.
The principal will be responsible for communications with the district
staff, the council and the committees and their leaders throughout the
planning process to ensure that the plan is appropriate and will accomplish
the school’s mission. The School Improvement Committee will
give the principal a written draft of the school improvement plan by March
of each year for council approval. The
school staff (component managers, school improvement plan managers, planning
committee members) will follow the district policy on planning to ensure that
all timelines are met and the plan is developed in accordance with district
guidelines for planning set in board policy and state law. The council will convene a special
meeting in April for the purpose of public review, discussion and
adoption of the school improvement plan. The principal will be responsible
for inviting parents, teachers and the community to share and discuss the
draft plan for the coming school year at the special meeting or before the
meeting if they want to provide written comments. Written copies will be available for public
inspection and there will be time on the agenda for public comment,
facilitated by the principal. After
hearing the discussion and comments, the council will approve the school
improvement plan by majority vote or consensus. |
