Approve all School Improvement Plans (SIPs), School Advisory Council (SAC) Composition Forms, and SIP Waivers for 2014/2015 | |
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
Florida Statutes 1001.42(18) and 1001.452 require school boards to annually review and approve SIPs, waivers, and the composition of SACs.
Schools develop and approve their SIPs annually using the online Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) SIP 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 developed through the FLDOE website, with public access through the website (www.floridacims.org). The Office of School Improvement reviews all SIPs and works with schools to ensure compliance and high standards. |
