11. 2018-2019 Phase One: Continuous Improvement Diagnostic (CDIP)
Discussion

Each school, as well as the district, participates in the Comprehensive School or District Improvement Planning Process (CSIP or CDIP).  The first step of the CDIP has been accomplished by completing the diagnostic.

2. How will the district engage a variety of stakeholders in the development of a process that is truly ongoing and continuous? Include information on how stakeholders will be selected and informed of their role, how meetings will be scheduled to accommodate them and how the process will be implemented and monitored for effectiveness.

Continuous improvement is imperative in every facet of our school and community. Involvement of a variety of stakeholders will take place across many different settings including but not limited to: 1) weekly one-on-one snack and chats which are conducted between the staff members chosen at random in all schools and the superintendent, 2) monthly district principal PLC meetings consisting of the principals in all schools, the Superintendent and the Chief Education Officer, 3) monthly RTI meetings with representatives from each school, the Superintendent and the Chief Education Officer, 4) quarterly district safety meetings consisting of a representative from each school, the district Safe Schools Coordinator, Food Service/Finance Director, Maintenance Supervisor and a classified administrative assistant, 5) monthly Chamber of Commerce meetings involving members of the community, business partners and students, 6) quarterly District Planning Committee/ Coordinated School Health Council which includes staff members-administrators, teachers, classified staff-, parents, students, community members and a board of education member. These meetings are scheduled to best accommodate the group, with the first meeting of the year being scheduled and then all other meetings being scheduled at that time to best accommodate the members of each group. The goal of the District Planning Committee/Coordinated School Health Council is to evaluate the overall efforts of improvement across the many facets of the district and offer suggestions and strategies to build upon and/or sustain the efforts in these areas. The effectiveness of these initiatives is monitored through prioritizing needs, developing a plan for implementation and evaluating the impact of the implementation plan. Effectiveness in these areas is also monitored through data as applicable to each identified area as well as from stakeholder surveys and input. The sole goal of all of these committees is to improve the overall educational experience of the students in Livingston County by preparing students to continue their education and/or enter the workforce.
