Assurances
The
school district assures that the development and adoption of this plan complies
with all statutory components of the Title I Schoolwide Program and is based on
needs and strengths identified through a comprehensive analysis of current
academic and non-academic data.
Compliance to general and specific program assurances is the legal
responsibility of the local district under the authorization of the local board
of education and the direction of the superintendent.
Comprehensive
Needs Assessment
X We
have conducted a data-driven needs assessment involving input from teachers,
principals, program administrators, parents, and community which has identified
specific areas of academic need for all students resulting in a plan that
reflects challenging goals, identified areas of instructional strengths and
weaknesses, a strong understanding of instructional approaches, and evaluation
procedures that measure progress toward our goals.
Reform
Strategies
X We
have provided for the implementation of scientific researched based reform
strategies designed to improve instruction throughout the school so all children
can meet the state’s proficient and advanced levels and a timeline for this
implementation. These strategies
include strengthening core academic programs, increasing amount and quality of
learning time, enriched and accelerated curriculum, and how to meet the needs
of historically underserved populations and those at risk of not meeting academic performance
standards. We have included
activities to ensure that students who experience difficulty mastering any of
the standards during the course of the school year will be provided with
effective, timely additional assistance.
Highly
Qualified Teachers
× We provide instruction by highly qualified teachers.
×
Strategies
are in place to attract high-quality teachers.
Professional
Development
× We provide high-quality, ongoing professional
development for teachers, principals, paraprofessionals, and others as
appropriate.
Parental
Involvement/Parent Compact
× We have strategies in place to increase parental
involvement in student achievement.
The components of the parent compact are reviewed often to assure that
all parties are fulfilling their role and responsibilities.
Transition
× Transition plans are implemented and evaluated by
involved parties (school personnel, parents, students) to determine elementary
to middle school; middle school to high school; high school to college
awareness and preparation and/or integration of vocational and technical
education programs.
Teacher
Involvement in Use of Academic Assessments
× Teachers are included in decisions regarding the use of
academic assessments in order to improve the achievement of individual students
and the over all instructional program.
Timely
and Effective Assistance
× We provide timely and effective assistance for students
having difficulty meeting the proficient and advanced levels of academic
performance.
Learning
Environment
× We provide a safe, orderly learning environment that
follows the district safe school plan.
Coordination
and Integration of Federal, State, and Local services and programs.
× The schools and community, through coordination and
integration of Federal, State and Local services and programs work together as
partners in supporting high academic achievement for all students. Title I funds are used to supplement
and not supplant state and local funding received by the school.
Annual
Evaluation
X We will conduct an
annual evaluation of the schoolwide plan involving staff, parents, and
community.
