Title I Schoolwide Program Plan

1. Explain how this plan has been developed with the involvement of stakeholders (parents, community members, teachers, principals, other school leaders, paraprofessionals, district personnel, and at the secondary level, students).
This plan has been developed through collaboration with MKL stakeholders in a variety of formats. A teacher survey was completed in April 2017. A meeting of parents and community members was held in May 2017 to discuss the needs of our school. Our School Advisory Council meets a minimum of seven times per year and school improvement needs are discussed at each meeting. Periodically throughout the school year, parent Involvement events are scheduled. At these meetings, parents are given the opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions for initiatives for school improvement.

2. Explain how the plan will be regularly monitored and revised as necessary based on student needs to ensure that all students are provided opportunities to meet the challenging Florida Standards?
The MKL School Advisory Council will meet a minimum of seven times per year. At each meeting, updates are shared on
The status of the School Improvement Plan and initiatives for school improvement that are taking place at MKL.
At mid-year, a full review of the School Improvement Plan is completed with the SAC so that stakeholders have the opportunity
To provide feedback for adjustments. MKL PLC groups meet a minimum of three times per month with four full days for
Collaboration built into the school schedule. SIP initiatives and the progress of goals and strategies are reviewed
Periodically during PLC meetings and staff are given the opportunity to provide feedback for adjustments.
