SHUTESBURY SCHOOL COMMITTEE
SUBMISSION AND APPROVAL OF THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The
written school improvement plan shall be submitted by the Principal to the
Superintendent for approval and the School Committee for review no later than October
1 of the year in which the plan is to be implemented.
Because
the implementation of the plan is dependent on Superintendent approval and
School Committee review, it is important that the school council be aware of
certain expectations regarding the school improvement plan. The school
improvement plan should:
1.
Focus on improvement of student learning.
2.
Specify expected student outcomes and measurable/observable results.
3.
Align with the mission of the School District and any goals and policies of the
School District.
4.
Be consistent with state and federal law, School District policy, established
curriculum and negotiated agreements.
5.
Clearly identify actions to be taken on how changes will be implemented.
6.
Include a plan on how to solicit community support for the changes being
developed.
7.
Indicate anticipated costs and available funding sources.
8.
Delineate the method of evaluating and reporting progress and results.
If
the school improvement plan is not approved by the Superintendent, it shall be
returned to the Principal with specific comments as to the reason(s). The
Principal shall revise the plan in cooperation with the school council, and
resubmit it for approval. If the Superintendent does not review the school
improvement plan within 30 days of its receipt, the plan shall be deemed to
have been approved.
