Action Step
1
Survey stakeholders and review results regarding
academics, facilities, school climate, community
involvement, communication, and fiscal
accountability.
2
Investigate and develop the Wisconsin Common Core
State Standards in English Language Arts and Math
and provide the needed professional development.

Curriculum and
Instruction,
Administrators,
Staff
Wisconsin adopted the Common Core Standards on June 2,
2010. Districts need to have the standards fully implemented
and ready for the new state assessment in 2014-2015 school
year. This goal follows the state’s guidelines.
We recommend that the Director of Curriculum and Instruction
become a fulltime (100%) position.
3
Maintain Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s)
to support collaboration in the Common Core
Standards, Response to Intervention (RtI), and high
quality instruction.
4
Create a district wide plan that utilizes available time
to implement professional development across the
district.

In the past the PLC’s have been supported using substitute
teachers using ARRA funds. We support the PLC plan
recommended by the district administrators.
We recommend that all staff is involved in at least one PLC per
month.

Action Step
5
Begin implementation of PBIS (Positive Behavioral
Interventions and Supports) district wide.
Administrators
Administrators at all three buildings already have this goal
underway.
6
Develop a district wide plan for increased intervention
support consistent with the Wisconsin RtI Model
(Response to Intervention).
Administrators,
District RtI
Team, Staff
This goal is in progress in all three buildings. Last year a
position was added to support elementary students. We
recommend that the board address staffing needs at the middle
school.
7
Research, develop, and obtain additional math and
literacy resources for interventions (leveled libraries,
math resources, non-fiction texts) to support RtI.
District and
Building Level
RtI Teams
This goal is an ongoing process. The district team meets
bimonthly and the building level teams meet monthly.
8
Implement a data management system to facilitate
RtI data. (Example: SIMS)
District RtI
Team
9
Create building level and district level mental health
teams focused on supporting students’ mental health
needs that impact academic achievement.
Counselors,
School Nurse,
Administrators
At this time we are waiting for a final decision from the state
level, but the district will need to move forward to find a system
to manage a large amount of data that can be securely
accessed.
We recommend that the district begins building these teams in
September 2011.
