In March, 2010, South Sarpy School District 46 earned district accreditation through an external review process. From this external review, commendations and required actions were given to the district. The required actions are to be addressed within 2 years of the external visit. The district is to submit an Accrediation Progress Report by May of 2012. This report details the progress we have made towards the required actions made by the external team visit in 2010. The two required actions being addressed include: 1) Create a clear, written school improvement plan that helps prioritize and focus current inititatives. Research SIP models then select and implement a plan that includes measureable goals to provide a consistent framework for continuous improvement. 2) Increase communication with parents and community regarding student achievement data. To assist us in this process, two external team members have been invited to return to the district on February 24, 2012 to evaluate the district's progress towards the required actions and provide further commendations and next steps in our continuous improvement process.
