Agenda Item Summary:
|
|
This school year ACPS has focused on continuous improvement enhancement efforts through the Priority Improvement Planning (PIP) process at the division level and via the School Improvement Monitoring and Support structures and actions. These efforts are designed to reduce siloed work, increased vertical and horizontal accountability, thicken connections and improve timely communication between school and central office leaders, and ultimately to continue to grow and sustain trust and shared ownership in improvement work. ACPS also is maintaining an eye on future accountability system changes at the state level in order to best maintain a proactive and not reactive stance as Virginia moves into a new accountability system. |

|
|
Background:
|
|
Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) has seven schools currently identified in state and/or federal accountability systems as needing improvement in specific areas. ACPS last school year identified the need to align and expand division-level improvement efforts as well as ongoing tiered school support and monitoring structures. |
