Schedule of Meetings
Due to the 90 day response requirement to revise the CSIP plan and submit it to the state department only two meetings were scheduled to revise the plan. Considering the tight time line for completion, it should be pointed out that this document is ever changing and that annual meetings will be conducted, in the future, for further revisions and updates.
October 9th, 2007: The committee was divided into teams to address specific objectives and strategies of the plan. School administrators led the teams and guided the group as to explaining and interpreting the components of each objective reviewed.
This first session was scheduled from 7:00 to 9:00 in the central office. At 8:30 the teams were assembled to discuss their progress and identify new objectives and strategies they had designed. Objectives and strategies that were no longer relevant were described and deleted from the plan.
November 12th was scheduled for the final meeting to finalize the revisions and updates providing ample time for a copy to be sent to the state by the December 1st deadline.

VII. CSIP OBJECTIVES OVERVIEW
Fifteen objectives are included in the districts’ CSIP. These objectives are codified into seven major headings as required by state guidelines. Those areas include; Student Performance, Highly Qualified Staff, Facilities, Support Services, Instructional Resources, Parent and Community Involvement and Governance.
Each objective is stated in measurable terms and includes a criterion by which to evaluate the successful completion of the objective.
VIII. CSIP STRATEGIES OVERVIEW
Embedded with each objective are strategies describing the tasks (action plans) that will be implemented to accomplish the objectives. In addition to the descriptions of the action plan personnel are identified who will be involved in completing the tasks as well as deadlines when the objective has been fully met. In cases where the objective has been met but is continued on an ongoing basis then the word ongoing will appear in the completion date column. Each strategy is also aligned with the MSIP standards and are identified in the left column of the graph for each strategy.
Please note the abbreviation D.I. which will appear in many of the
strategy descriptions. This notation represents those activities which are
specially designed toward the goal of District
Improvement in response to the AYP report issued, by the state, in
September of 2007.
IX. FISCAL NOTATIONS
Appearing in many of the strategy descriptions are dollar amounts. These amounts are estimates of the cost to carry out that strategy for the year. Accompanying the dollar figures, where indicated, are the funding sources to carry out the strategy. Most of the funding sources will be notated as local, Title I, Title II, Title IV, Title V, Professional Development, and Grants..
Please note that on several of the objectives similar strategies carry over with similar dollar amounts attached. Where this occurs, it should be read as a single funding amount for both
objectives and not additional funding.
X. CLOSING REMARKS
Due to the time restraints as per federal regulations it is understood by the committee that this document is ever changing and will be reviewed on an annual basis for updates and revisions. Although it is written for a five year period from 2007-2012 most of the completion dates are earmarked for 2010 which corresponds with the districts’ next MSIP review.
