Purpose: The Accountability Plan• Following the completion of the 4th Cycle MSIP Full Review and

the return of the findings from that review, SLPS will be required to develop an Accountability Plan

Outcome:• The ATP will support the standards, goals and objectives of the

Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) and the Comprehensive Long Range Plan (CLRP)

• The Accountability Plan will become the district’s strategic plan for the next two years and will target concerns identified by the MSIP Review in the areas of:

Student Performance Highly Qualified Staff Facilities, Resources and Supports Parent Involvement and Community Relations Governance

DESE directed unaccredited districts to complete a MSIP Accountability Plan after a Full MSIP Review to address findings not met or met with concern

The SLPS accountability plan is modeled on the ATP submitted by the Kansas City, Missouri School District plan, which was successfully accepted by DESE in December, 2008

District staff and one SAB member, assisted by a consultant, were identified by the superintendent to be team leaders for committees assigned to develop the ATP in February, 2009

A framework was developed that aligns all current “plans” of the district and encompasses key measures of implementation from those plans

Inclusion within the accountability plan of objectives that are clear, measurable, rigorous, and subject to continuous monitoring and improvement

On-going use of data from indicators in the “plans” for policy decisions, strategic planning, and progress reports to the SAB and community about student achievement in SLPS

The accountability plan outlines the expectations, responsibilities, interventions and measures SLPS will follow for the next two years

The accountability plan states clear, comprehensive and high standards on educational progress towards meeting student performance standards

The accountability plan allows for:◦ educational performance of SLPS to be based on review

of reliable and valid data from the district◦ an appraisal of the effectiveness of objectives and

action steps taken to improve student learning within SLPS

◦ building collaborative relations with those invested in the success of SLPS
