SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve the District Improvement and Assistance Plan (DIAP), all School Improvement Plans (SIPs), School Advisory Council (SAC) Composition Forms, and SIP Waivers for 2017-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hillsborough County School Board Policy 2120 states that "The Board shall annually approve and require implementation of a school improvement plan for each school in the District."

Board Policy 2120 further provides that each School Advisory Council (SAC) shall be composed of the principal and an appropriately balanced number of teachers, education support employees, students, parents, and other business and community citizens who are representative of the ethnic, racial, and economic community served by the school.

Schools develop and approve their SIPs annually using the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) SIP online template.  Through SIPs, schools implement a collaborative and ongoing process for improvement that aligns with the district goals and school's student data.  The purpose of SIPs is to provide a current description of students' performance along with a system of goals, strategies, action steps, evaluation tools, evaluation processes, and professional development for increasing student achievement.  All SIPs have been uploaded to each school's individual website, accessible through the district's website.  The Area Superintendents, under the supervision of the Chief of Schools, review all SIPs and work with schools to ensure compliance and high standards.
