1) Summarize the process used to write this plan. Include how parents, school staff, and others were involved.

School and district staff along with parents and community members met to discuss the current status of the district and schools. Strategies and activities were developed in brainstorming sessions. Data was provided including school and district AYP status. The above mentioned participants used a carousel activity to address the needs of the district in the areas of reading, mathematics, parent involvement, and professional development. District and school staff also participated in a retreat during the month of July to review the prior year's data and to make action plans for improving student performance during the 2009-10 school year. A District Improvement Team meeting will be held monthly whose members include district and school staff, parents, and community members to review the progress of the schools improvement plan.
