Shared Decision Making: Excellence and Accountability

During the 1989-90 and 1990-91 school years, the district served the New York State Education Department as a pilot district in an Excellence and Accountability Program. The basic activity of this program was to develop a planning model for the district to assess educational needs/priorities and to address such needs/priorities as the building level. This would be achieved through a shared decision making model. This has been addressed by the formation of the District Planning Group (DPG), Building Planning Teams (BPT) and a concerted, district-wide effort emphasizing and incorporating shared decision making. The District will continue its pursuit of excellence and accountability. A planning model is in place, with shared decision making as the key element. Stakeholders, including parents, staff at all levels and students continue to have input as five-year educational plans are implemented and updated in each of the district's building. The goal of every building planning team is to address and improve student achievement.
