1. Federal Programs Department: Plan4Learning
March 5 - 8, 2018
San Antonio Independent School District
Federal Programs Department

2. The Connection: CNA, DIP/CIP, Budget & Plan4Learning
Per Federal and State Law, a district/campus can only spend funds for resources when they have been clearly identified in the CNA/DIP/CIP
Plan4Learning is the tool that is utilized for the CNA/DIP/CIP
it provides the template for the CNA/DIP/CIP
the CNA/DIP/CIP is completed using District and campus data to identify needs and establish goals based on that data
it provides the means to align the budget to the needs identified and goals set by departments/campuses in the CNA/DIP/CIP
The Budget Resource Guide is a tool that can be utilized to assist in aligning the budget to the CNA/DIP/CIP

3. What is Plan4Learning?
A web-based software that enables campuses & departments to develop the Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) and Improvement Plan (DIP\CIP) in full compliance with state and federal laws. It also ties the CNA & Improvement Plans to the budget.

4. How can Plan4learning be used to align to Federal and State Law?
A CNA must be conducted to identify needs.
An Improvement Plan must be written to address the needs that were identified in the CNA.
Funding can only be spent on items included in the Improvement Plan which are addressing the needs identified in the CNA.

5. Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) Essential Components
One purpose of the CNA is to summarize the campus/department story and to identify strengths and weaknesses of existing programs, practices, procedures, activities using district and campus data. This will assist in determining and prioritizing strategies, funding source(s) and resources which align with the needs identified in the CNA.

6. Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) Essential Components
The outline of the CNA consists of the “Data Analysis Area”
with four “Multiple Measures of Data”:
Demographics
Student Academic Achievement
District Processes & Programs
Perceptions

7. Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) Essential Components
Each “Data Analysis Area” consists of:
Summary
Strengths
Problem Statements and Root Causes Identifying Needs

8. Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA)
To be included in the budget, a written “Problem Statement” and “Root Cause” are required. Once the “Multiple Measures of Data” focus areas for the CNA are selected and the required Problem Statements with Root Causes are written, then the CIP needs to be detailed under the “Goals” section. This is where the (CNA) Problem Statement is aligned with the (CIP) Goal, Performance Objective, Strategy and Funding Source.

9. District Improvement Plan (DIP) and Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) Essential Components
One purpose of the DIP/CIP is to determine and prioritize strategies and their funding source(s) that address the needs identified in the CNA and align with the campus/department vision, goals, and performance objectives.
The outline of a DIP/CIP consists of:
Goal
Performance Objective
Strategy
Strategy Funding

10. The DIP/CIP is detailed under the “Goals” section.
District Improvement Plan (DIP) and Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) Essential Components
The DIP/CIP is detailed under the “Goals” section.

11. District Improvement Plan (DIP) and Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) Essential Components
Goal
Performance Objective
Strategy (ex. Student interventions, extend instructional time via Saturday school and before/after school tutoring, instructional field trips, build & maintain highly effective teaching via professional development, etc.).

12. District Improvement Plan (DIP) and Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) Essential Components
Once the Performance Objective has been added or selected, at least one strategy must be written that aligns with the Goal & Performance Objective and also identifies the fund number, resource needed, funding amount and CNA problem statement addressed. (Optional: utilize the account code field to produce a more robust campus/department budget report).

13. District Improvement Plan (DIP) and Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) Essential Components
The strategy and strategy funding must align with the “Problem Statement(s)” and “Root Cause(s)” that were written in the CNA under “Multiple Measures of Data” Problem Statement Identifying Needs.
Above the Strategy funding section, click on “Add Problem Statements” (a drop-down window will appear) so that a problem statement(s) can be selected that aligns with the strategy. This will help to ensure that only strategies that address needs identified in the CNA are included in the CIP which also supports the eligibility of the expenditure.

14. How can Plan4learning be used to tie the budget to the CNA & Improvement Plan?
The Budget Resource Guide can be utilized as a tool for Plan4Learning to link Federal, State and Local funding sources in your CNA/DIP/CIP
The Budget Resource Guide can assist with
Resources Needed (general description)
Fund Source
Account Code
