The Adams-Friendship Board of Education supports the concepts of management restructuring and school improvement and will seek to create and/or maintain effective schools as defined in this and other policies.

In addition to adopting a Mission Statement and Educational Philosophy for the District, the Board shall create, as needed, policies which support the Management Restructuring and School Improvement Process.

The District Administrator shall establish administrative guidelines which will ensure that the following objectives for decentralized management and shared decision-making can be achieved:

School improvement plans which are developed and implemented by school-based teams that work collaboratively so that both building level and District level goals for students can be identified and correlated, and then achieved through effective planning, problem-solving, and assessment. Each such team is to include

		1.	professional staff
		2.	support staff
		3.	parents
		4.	representatives of the community
		5.	students, when applicable
		6.	School Board members, when applicable

A District-wide, school-improvement plan which provides for building-level decision-making. The District school's improvement plan is to include:

		1.	the District mission statement;
		2.	District goals based on Policy 2131;
		3.	District curriculum aligned to the goals;
		4.	District evaluation procedures;
		5.	staff development;
		6.	use of community resources and volunteers;
		7.	decision-making processes;
		8.	other matters as determined by the District Administrator.

	C.	Periodic review and approval by the District Administrator and the District School Improvement Team of each school's modification and improvement of its program based on the school's assessment of student and staff accomplishment of performance objectives and program goals.
	D.	Collaboration at both the building and District levels with parents, relevant institutions and groups, especially those in the community, who can support and facilitate school improvement in the District.

Upon approval of a school's initial plan and its later revisions, the Board and District Administrator shall fully support, to the extent that resources allow, the school's educational improvement program.

This improvement program may include co-curricular activities.
