Phases of Implementation of School Councils.

The adopted standard include four phases with each phase building upon the previous ones.  As a school progresses through the phases, the school (School Council and Administration) gradually assumes power over decisions that affect that particular school.  The standards at each phase are specific, but not so specific as to promote uniformity in the governance structure.  Each school has room within the confines of the standards for individuality and uniqueness.  The standards reflect minimum requirements for accreditation at each phase.  Completion of these minimum requirements supports the move from phase to phase.

(These phases are cumulative and progressive.)

  • Phase one:    Initial school council develops the school's constitution/by-laws for ratification by the stakeholders at the school.  Drachman is currently in this phase.  (Target Date for all existing TUSD schools to complete Phase One is May 2002.)

  • Phase two:    School begins operation under is constitution/by-laws and maintains accurate records of the decisions of the school council.  The school council develops and re-evaluates the Management and Assessment Plan (MAP), by utilizing baseline data (e.g., School Quality Survey, standardized testing, North Central Accreditation, etc.).

  • Phase Three:    School is authorized, through its school council, to make decisions about budget, curriculum and personnel matters within the bounds of Federal Law, State Statute, and TUSD Policy including the Consensus and White Collar/Food Service Agreements.

  • Phase Four:    School is authorized, through its School Council, to develop supplemental evaluation policies
