2. Overview: SLPS Accountability Plan
Purpose: The Accountability Plan
Following the completion of the 4th Cycle MSIP Full Review and the return of the findings from that review, SLPS will be required to develop an Accountability Plan
Outcome:
The ATP will support the standards, goals and objectives of the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) and the Comprehensive Long Range Plan (CLRP)
The Accountability Plan will become the district’s strategic plan for the next two years and will target concerns identified by the MSIP Review in the areas of:
Student Performance
Highly Qualified Staff
Facilities, Resources and Supports
Parent Involvement and Community Relations
Governance

3. Background: Development of the Accountability Plan
DESE directed unaccredited districts to complete a MSIP Accountability Plan after a Full MSIP Review to address findings not met or met with concern
The SLPS accountability plan is modeled on the ATP submitted by the Kansas City, Missouri School District plan, which was successfully accepted by DESE in December, 2008
District staff and one SAB member, assisted by a consultant, were identified by the superintendent to be team leaders for committees assigned to develop the ATP in February, 2009
A framework was developed that aligns all current “plans” of the district and encompasses key measures of implementation from those plans

4. Current Situation: Key Parts of the Plan
MSIP/APR
Review Process that generates the Annual Performance Report (APR)
14 Performance Standards for Accreditation
CLRP
Comprehensive Long Range Plan (CLRP)
30 Standards for Improvement
CSIP

5. Accountability Plan Key Measures (cross referenced in the CLRP and CSIP):
Governance
- Sustain effective leadership and management
Student Performance – Regain and maintain full accreditation
Facilities, Resources and Support
- Align and balance supports, revenues and expenditures
Highly Qualified Staff
- Recruit, develop and retain highly qualified staff
Parent and Community Involvement
- Promote consistent and meaningful stakeholder involvement

6. Success Benchmarks for the ATP
Demonstrated gains in the number of students meeting or showing improvement over time on the 14 “Critical” and “Urgent” Performance Standards:
MAP/EOC Assessments in each of the grade bands (3-6, 5-8
and 9-12) in both reading and math
ACT
Advanced Courses
Career Education Courses
College Placement
Career Education Placement
Graduation Rate
Attendance Rate
Subgroup Achievement

7. Solution
Diligent monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the key measures
Inclusion within the accountability plan of objectives that are clear, measurable, rigorous, and subject to continuous monitoring and improvement
On-going use of data from indicators in the “plans” for policy decisions, strategic planning, and progress reports to the SAB and community about student achievement in SLPS

8. Summation
The accountability plan outlines the expectations, responsibilities, interventions and measures SLPS will follow for the next two years
The accountability plan states clear, comprehensive and high standards on educational progress towards meeting student performance standards
The accountability plan allows for:
educational performance of SLPS to be based on review of reliable and valid data from the district
an appraisal of the effectiveness of objectives and action steps taken to improve student learning within SLPS
building collaborative relations with those invested in the success of SLPS
