District and School Improvement Plans

School Improvement encompasses a system of accountability for districts and schools. Student performance is assessed as a measure to determine whether state educational standards are being achieved. In the event that a district or school performance does not meet state standards, measures are developed and used to promote improvement. Additionally, within the tenets of school improvement, the State Board of Education has authority to impose sanctions and rewards as related to school performance.
