The District will develop measures to monitor and support its continuous improvement in implementing the Strategic Plan and its programs and systems toward student learning. This will include data analysis and engagement of all constituencies. The District acknowledges that a communications plan must be outlined and implemented to ensure that all staff and parents are informed and educated on both the Strategic Plan as well as progress made toward its objectives as well as to receive relevant feedback from all constituents. Communication shall be ongoing, integrated and disseminated broadly such that school and district leadership can both communicate plans and monitor progress for accountability.
Annually, each school site will develop goals as part of their Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) which will outline campus actions to improve student outcomes aligned with the District’s strategic plan. In addition, parent and student input will be solicited as to how we are succeeding in meeting our goals at a site and student level. Each summer, the governing board and district administrative council members will undertake a review of collected data in order to monitor progress in achieving intended outcomes.

STUDENT * Solicit student input regarding their experience in 21st Century Learning environments and Whole Child development * Create portfolios of Authentic Assessments, including but not limited to standardized testing information & selected exemplary work products subject to longitudinal review * Establish exit criteria for 3rd, 5th and 8th grade and review achievements of students against the criteria
