A Schoolwide is a catalyst for comprehensive reform of the entire instructional program.
It allows educators to come together and work collaboratively.
It addresses the needs of students in an integrated way.
It permits Federal resources to be spent in ways that most effectively raise the achievement of students.

7. Title I Schoolwide Plans written under NCLB Need to be Updated
We have plans that go back as far as school year.
During the school year, any Schoolwide plans written prior to the signing of the ESSA law (December 10, 2016) will need to be rewritten.
All new plans must be submitted via KansaStar.
Schoolwide plans should align with any other school improvement initiatives the building has undertaken, i.e., KESA, Redesign, and CSI, TSI, ATS.
