SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Guidelines for School Improvement 2010/2011 (School Improvement and Accountability)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We request approval of the attached 2010/2011 Guidelines for School Improvement document which has been updated and approved by the Central Facilitating Team, Office of School Improvement, Title I, and other appropriate district staff. Florida Statutes require the School Board to annually review its accountability procedures. The majority of the new text is the result of changes to the Florida Department of Education's (FDOE) 2010/2011 School Improvement Plan template. In addition, specific sections within the document were updated and expanded to provide further clarification to district level staff, school principals, school personnel, and School Advisory Council (SAC) members. Attachments include 2010/2011 School Improvement Guidelines: Highlights of Additions and Changes and 2010/2011 Guidelines for School Improvement.
