MEMORIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOLSCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2009-2010 Introduction In accordance with the Education Reform Act of 1993, the Memorial School Council is established each fall. A school council is a representative advisory group that collaborates with the principal in planning and implementing a School Improvement Plan that is aligned with the District Goals. As described in the legislation, the School Improvement Plan has the following elements: • An assessment of the impact of class size on student performance, student-to-teacher ratios, and ratios of students to other supportive adult resources • A schedule for reducing class size, if deemed necessary • Professional development for school’s staff and the allocation of any professional development funds in the school budget • Enhancement of parental involvement in the life of the school • School safety and discipline • Establishment of a school environment characterized by tolerance and respect for all groups • Extra-curricular activities • Means for meeting, within the regular education programs, the diverse learning needs of as many children as possible, including children with special needs currently assigned to separate programs • Any further subjects the principal, in consultation with the school council, shall consider appropriate The spirit of the law calls for collaboration between the council and the principal. The principal needs to create an environment of openness, collegiality and respect for all participants.
