Comprehensive School Improvement Plan – 2012
INTRODUCTION
School improvement is a continuing mission for Sunrise School. Comprehensive planning involving the Board of Education,
administration, staff, community and students is the process used to achieve desired results. Planning is on-going with goals,
outcomes, and objectives to direct the improvement efforts of the district. The team listed below was organized for the purpose of
formulating a Strategic Planning Committee to assist in the development of our Comprehensive School Improvement Plan for Sunrise
R-IX School District. The strategic planning committee designed the overall direction that they would like to see our district headed
towards, which was the basis for our 2012 Comprehensive School Improvement Plan. The CSIP team then designed objectives,
strategies and action steps, and measurable outcomes for the achievement of long-range goals for the district. Implementation of the
plan will require change and the cooperation of all involved – Board of Education, school personnel, parents, involved community
members, and students. We are committed to this mission.

PLANNING & DISTRIBUTION
CSIP
Along with the school mission statement, the Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) drives our school. This is the tool that
not only gives us direction, but provides very specific objectives and strategies to achieve our goal.
This CSIP is the result of a recent Missouri School Improvement Review in February. This is an evaluation of our school’s
performance based on actual data from tests, student, parent, and teacher surveys, and personal interviews. The district received the
preliminary results of this evaluation in June of 2008. The team consisted of community members, students, parents, teachers,
administrators and board of education members. The teams plan was to address all of the areas of weakness or concern. The team met
four times and came up with some overall goals. Our administrators then developed more specific objectives and strategies to achieve
these goals. This plan was presented to the BOE in November for their approval.
The district conducted staff in-service training regarding the purpose and intent of the CSIP. The district formulated the above
planning team. The team was responsible for the creation of and contents of the plan document. The planning committee collected
feedback from staff, parents, community members and students to incorporate into the comprehensive plan. The team utilized the
district’s MSIP results, AYP/APR data, long-range facility and financial needs, Library Media Standards assessment, etc. to help
guide the district’s plan. The planning team collaborated with various district committees already in existence to support the school.
The CSIP is designed to improve student performance, and guide complex educational program adjustments. The planning team
focused on overall academic achievement, reading achievement, career preparation, and educational persistence during the preparation
of the plan. The plan ties together short-range and long-range plans and breaks them down into workable step-through document to
assist the district in achieving its mission and goals.
After final revision and Board of Education approval, the CSIP document was distributed to each staff member and discussed at the
first staff meeting in December 2008. In addition, the CSIP document is available on the district’s web page and in the central office
for public review.
In the school year of 2011-12, revisions were made by the new committee which consisted of teachers and parents (see p. 8) who
worked together. The goal was to revise and update the plan to make it current. Revisions were presented to the principal at the end of
the school year.

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS
An analysis of internal and external factors was conducted through various means to assess current status, thus identifying
improvement areas. Internal analyses sources included annual program reviews, needs assessments, and local surveys. These sources
provided information regarding curriculum, resources, facilities, success of state and federal programs, professional development,
attendance rate, dropout rate data, and student performance. External analyses sources include the *MSIP results, state and federal
program requirements, demographics, and population changes of the community and state standards. After analyzing these internal
and external factors, the CSIP team identified the following goals, objectives, and action steps to address the district’s strengths and
weaknesses and meet the goals herein.
