|  | | | What is Site Based Improvement?
Site Based Improvement is a process in which members of the school community (the principal, teachers, staff, families, students and community members) work together to:
improve student achievement
define school goals
shape school policy and procedures
solve problems
People who are responsible for carrying out decisions at the building level can now be more involved in making those decisions.
Site councils exist to create partnerships that help their school be successful.
What does a site council do?
Site councils may:
help shape and support the school's mission
participate in the development of the school improvement plan
drive school change and develop conditions for success
have input into the selection of the school principal
have input into the selection of school staff
help plan and prioritize the school's budget.
Will training be provided?
Yes! The Saint Paul Public Schools' Office of Site Based Improvement and local schools will offer training for all site council members. The training will cover such topics as:
How to Be an Effective Site Council
Teamwork and Collaboration
Developing Leadership
Effective Communication
