Approval Of The Goals And Measurable Objectives For The 2024-2025 School Improvement Plans
body
The school improvement plan (SIP) is a comprehensive, annually developed plan required by Texas Education Code (TEC) §11.253. Schools are required to submit campus performance objectives that are part of their SIP to the Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board for approval.
To support these efforts, each principal was responsible for developing a campus action plan in spring 2024 before the 2024-2025 school year started. Action plans consist of a root cause analysis with aligned key actions and metrics to improve school academic outcomes. All action plans were reviewed by an executive director to ensure they are rigorous with clear and measurable goals. Campuses were also required to take their action plans to their campus shared decision-making committee (SDMC) for review.
Principals are expected to monitor progress toward the goals outlined in their plan throughout the year. The district places a significant focus on the campus action plan by incorporating each campus’s ability to meet the goals in the action plan into the principal evaluation process. The action plans are reviewed by executive directors at the end of the year and principals receive a score that impacts their evaluation.
The plan for each campus will be made available on its respective HISD website after the goals and measurable objectives are approved. This item seeks board approval of the goals and measurable objectives for all HISD SIPs.
