On November 10-12, 2021, Drs. Parrett and Budge, authors, national presenters and consultants to Grandview C4, were on site to conduct professional development with building administrators, both as a collective group and as individually as they toured each school site and met with members of each principal’s Building Leadership Team (BLT).  This ongoing professional development was centered around the Science of Improvement and School Improvement Plans.  BLTs identify problems of practice, create driver diagrams, and implement 30/60/90 day plans based upon root cause analysis.  Drs. Parrett and Budge provided valuable guidance and feedback for building administrators regarding their School Improvement Plans and the processes used to develop them. 

 

School Improvement Plans (SIP) 
The Board heard SIP presentations from the principals of Martin City K-8 (MCK8), Grandview Middle School (GMS), and the Center for Alternative Instructional Resources (CAIR).  Principals reviewed school data, root cause analyses, and results of their 30 and 60 day plans, as well as adjustments made to their plans based upon those results.  

Sale of Bonds for Facilities Improvements
The Board accepted a bid and approved a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of $9,900,000 of General Obligation Bonds.  The sale of bonds, which are used to fund facilities improvements, is possible due to voter approval of a $45,000,000 no-tax increase bond issue from the April 6, 2021 election.
