What to Expect: The School Planning Process
These are the steps in the school planning process:
- Review data about your school and students and reflect on how your school is doing to support students to succeed. Examples of information you can review include:
- Academic assessments
- Online engagement / attendance and tech access
- Student, family and staff school climate surveys, and Wellness Checks
- Based on that data, set goals and identify priorities for the next school year. What are the programs, services, and other resources your school wants to focus on to reach these goals?
- Beginning in mid-February, look at how the initial school budget allocations can best support these goals and priorities.
Resources for Community Meetings & Site Planning
Family Partnership Tool Kits
SFUSD's Family Partnership Toolkit includes checklists, tips and facilitation guides related to Leadership, Governance and Site Planning. School, family and community members are encouraged to make use of these resources in the weeks leading up to the Summit event - and throughout the year.
