EDMONDS 7010 - SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENT PLANS FOR
PRINCIPALS AND INSTRUCTIONAL
MANAGERS
It is the policy of the Edmonds School District to require
each school to develop and adopt a school improvement
plan that includes an annual review process. Each school
shall submit its plan to the Edmonds School Board by
October 1 of each year for initial approval and annual
review.
Each school improvement plan shall reflect the use of
student performance data and shall promote a positive
impact on student learning. (A positive impact on student
learning means promoting the continuous achievement of
the state learning goals and essential academic learning
requirements, and the achievement of nonacademic growth
in areas like public speaking, leadership, interpersonal
relationship skills, team work, self-confidence and
resiliency, so that students can meet the goals of
Washington's basic education system: to become
responsible citizens, to contribute to their own economic
well-being and that of their families and communities, and
to enjoy productive and satisfying lives.)
Each school improvement plan shall be based on a building
self-review that includes the active participation and input

public schools is essential in providing increased student
performance and quality results. Innovative and
research-based programs, coupled with staff
development, focused and aligned resources, and public
participation in planning, are critical factors in improving
schools.
The Comprehensive School Improvement Plan developed
by each team shall be reviewed by the building principal
before being submitted to their Executive Directors of
Elementary Education or Secondary Education. If the
principal does not approve the plan, he or she shall work
with the CSIP Team until consensus is achieved. The
Executive Directors may refer a plan back to the CSIP
Team with recommendations for change. When
approved, the plan shall be monitored and reviewed on
an ongoing basis by the principal in collaboration with
staff. The plan will also be reviewed periodically with the
