Each principal鈥檚 supervisor will assist the principal and team in the development of the site plan, the implementation of strategies, the collection and analysis of data to evaluate action plans, the relationship of the site plan to the District鈥檚 plan, and compliance with District policies. 听The team will also meet as needed to comply with the school accreditation process. 听The team will follow the District guidelines and established process for site planning and include administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and/or community members. 听High schools and middle schools may choose to involve students. 听Staff members on the team are volunteers and will serve at will. 听The site-based planning team will be approved by the Superintendent or designee. 听
