10. ROLE OF THE DCIT IN SIP District Improvement Team (DIT) should communicate regularly with School Improvement teams surrounding building-level data. DIT should analyze building- level data, discern trends, and adjust District Improvement Plan accordingly. DIT should answer the question: is what we're doing systemically (district- wide) working, and how do we know? Approve all submitted SPRs/SAs by mid-march deadline Complete District Process Rubrics (should be informed by the SPR and SA; Due April 2). Engage in discussion and planning around budget estimates.
