  1. Site-Based Decision Making Committee Orientation September 30, 2014

  2. background • Site-based decision making implementation has been mandated for all Texas school districts since 1992. The atmosphere in the U.S. has become more demanding of public school systems’ administration. Often the public asks the centralized decision making units be broken into smaller, more workable groups that will provide them opportunities to have input into local education decisions. To empower the local public school system, a balance between freedom and accountability must be achieved. The schools must have freedom to take ownership of the education process. • TEA defines site-based decision making as follows: • Site-based decision making is a process for decentralizing decisions to improve the educational outcomes at every school campus through a collaborative effort by which principals, teachers, campus staff, district staff, parents, and community representatives assess educational outcomes of all students, determine goals and strategies, and ensure that strategies are implemented and adjusted to improve student achievement (TEA, 2010).

  3. Purpose • Effective campus planning for the purpose of improved student performance; • Improved community involvement in the school improvement process; • Clearly established accountability parameters for student performance; • Increased staff productivity and satisfaction; • Improved communication and information flow; • Consensus-based, decision making; • Pervasive and long-range commitment to implementation; • Dedication of both human and fiscal resources at the campus level; • Coordination of regular and special programs.

  16. Campus Improvement plan • Each school year the principal of each school campus, with the assistance of the campus-level committee, must develop, review and revise the campus improvement plan (CIP). The purpose of this plan is to improve student performance on the state’s student achievement indicators for all student populations, as well as improve performance on any other performance measures for special populations. • The Texas Education Code, Section 11.251, also requires that the board of trustees ensures that the district and all campus plans be developed, reviewed, and revised annually for the purpose of improving the performance of all students

  17. structure of the plan • Goals • Objectives • Strategies • Staff Responsible • Timelines • Resources • Formative Evaluation: Observable behaviors for each activity/strategy that indicate that the activity is contributing to student success. • Summative Evaluation: At conclusion of the year – essentially, did it work? Why was it, or why was it not, successful?

  18. Components of the plan: GOALS Long range (3-5 years) that reach to the state standards in each area. • Academic goals (including special education and LEP) • Drop-out prevention/At-risk • Violence prevention/intervention • Discipline management program that provides for the prevention of, and education concerning, unwanted physical or verbal aggression, sexual harassment, and other forms of bullying in school, on school grounds, and in school vehicles • Highly qualified teachers • Parent involvement • Other needs identified by local committee
