Comprehensive School Improvement Planning
What is Comprehensive School Improvement Planning?A Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) is a “plan” which focuses on the improvement of the district’s student achievement/performance levels, programs and services. A CSIP is created by a district to serve as a “road map” to the long-range improvement the district hopes to realize over multiple years.
