Comprehensive Improvement Planning for Schools
School improvement efforts are a collaborative process involving multiple stakeholders. Through the improvement planning process, leaders focus on priority needs, funding and closing achievement gaps among identified subgroups of students. When implemented with fidelity, the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) cultivates an environment that promotes student growth and achievement.
Please note that for schools operating a Title I Schoolwide Program, this comprehensive school improvement plan meets the requirements of Section 1114 of the Every Student Succeeds Act as well as state requirements under 703 KAR 5:225. No separate Schoolwide Program Plan is required.
You can find the timeline for comprehensive school improvement planning outlined in 703 KAR 5:225. Additional information regarding the 2024-2025 planning phases can be found on the Comprehensive Improvement Planning webpage.
More information regarding the planning process for 2024-2025 will be shared at the 2024 Continuous Improvement Summit.
