Info

ut are not limited to, English Language Learners, Special Education, Communications, Parent and Community Involvement, Advanced Academics, Coordinated School Health, and Recruiting and Staffing. These plans will either be newly developed or revised to align with the Strategic Plan. � Employee Performance Plans The district will work to develop and institutionalize a process for all employee performance plans to demonstrate alignment with the Strategic Plan. Every employee will realize his or her role in implementing the Strategic Plan and the district’s educational mission. � Input from Various Advisory Bodies AISD maintains several district-level and campus-level advisory bodies. The memberships of these advisory bodies represent all stakeholder groups – parents, students, teachers, principals, other district staff, community members, and business representatives – and represent the ethnic and geographic diversity and broad interests found in the Austin community. Many of these advisory bodies meet on a limited-time basis (e.g., Calendar Task Force), but there are a number of standing advisory bodies, including the following (links to websites have been provided where applicable): • District Advisory Council http://www.austinisd.org/inside/dac/ • Campus Advisory Councils http://www.austinisd.org/inside/cac/ • School Health Advisory Council http://www.austinisd.org/schools/shac/ • Facility Use and Boundary Task Force http://www.austinisd.org/inside/2004bond/boundaries/ • Citizens Bond Oversight Committee http://www.austinisd.org/inside/2004bond/cboc/ • Citizens Budget Review Committee http://www.austinisd.org/inside/initiatives/budgetreview/ • Special Education Citizens Advisory Committee http://www.austinisd.org/inside/secac/ • English Language Learners Citizens Advisory Committee • Educational Technology Advisory Committee • Professional Development Advisory Committee The ongoing input of district advisory bodies provides valuable guidance to the administration, Superintendent, and Board of Trustees. These groups also will serve to strengthen alignments with the Strategic Plan and alignments between other plans. Annual Actions A number of annual actions are described below. These annual actions are also depicted in Figure 3 for 2010-2011. Austin ISD Office of Planning and Community Relations Page 5
� End of Year and Beginning of Year Reports Beginning in 2010, the Superintendent will present end of year and beginning of year reports. The end of year report, to be delivered in June, will provide highlights of the school year just completed. The beginning of year report, to be delivered in August, will outline the needs and objectives for the new school year. These reports will serve to enhance communications with all stakeholders and to increase their awareness. � Strategic Plan Balanced Scorecard Beginning in 2010, an annual Strategic Plan Balanced Scorecard will be produced to monitor the district’s performance in several major areas compared to established targets. The scorecard will include the measurable outcomes in the Strategic Plan (e.g., TAKS performance, graduation rates, college readiness, secondary enrollment), along with other key performance indicators (e.g., attendance, disciplinary actions, Special Education participation, pre-kindergarten and primary grade performance). The scorecard will identify any achievement gaps among student groups, as well as any areas of over-representation by student groups. The scorecard will inform the annual State of the District Address and Annual Report. � State of the District Address The first AISD State of the District Address was delivered by the Superintendent on November 17, 2009, and was well received. The address not only celebrated the district’s successes, but also took a candid look at areas for needed improvement. The address was focused on how important “The Power of Us” is to accomplishing the district’s educational mission. The district – and we are confident the community – will look forward to making this a much anticipated annual event. The State of the District Address is available at: http://www.austinisd.org/misc/sod/ � Annual Report In conjunction with the State of the District Address, the district produces an Annual Report. The Annual Report is a very accessible document for general public and media audiences. The Annual Report combines performance data in selected areas (e.g., TAKS passing rates, SAT performance rates, graduation and completion rates, advanced course and dual credit participation rates) with basic data about the district (e.g., information on tax rate and taxable value, revenues and expenditures, teacher experience and turnover rates, number of community volunteers and hours served). The current Annual Report, as well as back issues of the report, are available at: http://www.austinisd.org/inside/initiatives/annual_report_2009/ � District Performance Reports For the past several years, district performance reports have been presented to the Board of Trustees during the fall and early winter in the form of “Level Reports.” These reports – at the elementary, middle, and high school levels – include presentations and analyses of performance data in several areas, as appropriate to the level. Following are examples of the data included in the Level Reports: Austin ISD Office of Planning and Community Relations Page 6
