DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT PLAN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

 

District Name:  Corbin Independent

 

Mission Statement:      Corbin will strive to be the BEST school system we can be”.

 

Board Goals:

 

  1. All students will be challenged to reach their highest potential.
  2. All students will demonstrate the acquisition of skills necessary for success beyond high school.
  3. All students and teachers will use technology to enhance learning.
  4. All students and staff will work to enhance partnerships among parents, community and businesses.

Consolidated Planning Process

 

Needs Assessment:

 

Corbin High School, South Elementary, and Central Primary are members of SACS and meet the standards in the school audits.  In addition to state CATS testing, the district tests in Grades K through grade 9 in math, reading, language and science using the Measures of Academic Progress Test (MAP).    Students in grades 10-12 scoring below grade level in reading, math, language, or science will continue to be tested using MAP.  School Comprehensive Improvement Plans were generated using the audit data as well as analysis of test data, gap analysis data, Family Resource Center/Youth Service Center data, Extended School Services data, Professional Development data, and Board goals.  The district-level needs assessment integrated information gathered and summarized from the nine state standards for school improvement.  The key findings and priority needs were identified from school and district-wide needs, and directives from the Corbin Board of Education.  Then key findings were grouped and addressed in the Comprehensive District Improvement Plan.  Strategies and activities, using research based information, were developed to reach the desired measurable objectives.  Private schools were consulted and provided information on federal programs and a copy of their needs assessments were obtained as part of the data.

Internal Review Process:

 

Reviews were held with representative from each school, program directors, and central office staff.  Program compliance was addressed to assure that each school was meeting program requirements.  Needs assessment data, gap analysis and key findings were analyzed and matched to priority need statements and goals.  Causes and measurable objectives were examined.  Strategies and activities were reviewed to confirm the focus on student achievement and needs. District administrators, principals and school representatives were brought together to review the Comprehensive District Improvement Plan.  The Plan was presented to school staff to provide communication and dual support among district and school plans. 

 

Public Notice and Review Process

 

Parents and community are made aware of this review through an announcement in the local newspapers and on channel 18.   During school reviews, information regarding needs assessments, key findings, priority need statements, goals, strategies and activities are shared at PTO meetings, SBDM meetings, and staff meetings.  The district vision and mission statements have been developed and approved by members of the Corbin Board of Education and Board goals are identified through open Board meetings.  District and school plans are presented and discussed at open Board meetings. Communication will continue through various administrative and team meetings and SBDM meetings. 

 

The “Implementation and Impact Checks” will be completed two times during the year.   Staff will determine the status of the activity and if and what impact it had on student achievement.  It will be determined if the activity needs to continue or be adjusted.  Impact Checks of the School and District Comprehensive Improvement plans will be completed on a mid school year schedule with each school providing a status report.  The end-of-year status report meeting will be held on, May 10, 2007.  School Board members, SBDM members, administrators, parent, community and others will be invited to attend.
