The
CSDB superintendent, with input from the school's Board of Trustees and the
program level accountability teams, will adopt
and maintain an accountability program to measure the adequacy and efficiency
of the educational program.
The
school's Board of Trustees is designated as the district level accountability
committee. The Board will make recommendations
to the superintendent relative to the program of accountability. The areas of
study by the Board will be determined at least annually. In addition, the Board
will make recommendations to the superintendent relative to priorities for
expenditures of school funds in order to achieve accountability goals. The
superintendent is committed to maintaining a strong accountability
program in each school program. The
accountability program will include an annual
progress report to the community regarding student performance and the results
of the school improvement process. The
program also will include implementation of a
school improvement planning process involving students, parents/families, staff, and community
members.
Program
level accountability teams will operate in the
School for the Deaf, the School for the Blind, the DEAF Transition Program and
the Colorado Home Intervention Program (“CHIP”). These teams will
make recommendations to the principal and the superintendent concerning
objectives and plans to improve educational achievement of students.
Every
effort will be made by the Board, the
superintendent, the staff and the accountability teams to fulfill the
responsibilities inherent in the concept of accountability as well as the
intent of the Educational Accountability Act and the state requirements for
accreditation of schools and school districts.
