South San Antonio Independent School District

CAMPUS PLANNING AND SITE-BASED DECISION-MAKING

South San Antonio ISD ensures that effective planning and site-based decision-making occur at each campus to direct and support the improvement of student performance for all students through the established campus-level planning and decision-making committees.

Each school year, the principal of each school campus, with the assistance of the campus-level committee, develop, review, and revise the campus improvement plan for the purpose of improving student performance for all student populations, including students in special education programs.

The campus-level committee is involved in decisions in the areas of planning, budgeting, curriculum, staffing patterns, staff development, and school organization. The committee approves the portions of the campus plan addressing campus staff development needs and holds at least one public meeting per year. The required meeting is typically held after receipt of the annual campus rating from TEA to discuss the performance of the campus and the campus performance objectives. 

SSAISD policy and campus procedures ensure that systematic communications measures are in place to periodically obtain broad-based community, parent, and staff input, as well as provide information to those persons regarding the recommendations of the campus-level committees.  Principals regularly consult the campus-level committee in the planning, operation, supervision, and evaluation of the campus educational program.
