3. Lodi Unified School District What’s the Purpose of This Plan? The District’s current budgetary crisis provided us a unique opportunity to implement administrative reductions at the central office without changing our direction to strategically and systemically improve student performance and eliminate the achievement gap. Therefore, the Educational Services Division is proposing to restructure the Curriculum and Instruction Department to:  Streamline direct services provided to the school sites to further sharpen our focus in achieving the goals outlined in the District Program Improvement Plan  Monitor the implementation and support of a Pre-K-12/Adult standards- based curriculum for all students  Provide an articulated instructional delivery system  Promote a collective responsibility of the entire District instructional staff to address the educational needs of all children at each grade level 1
