HILLSBORO R-3 SCHOOL DISTRICT COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Introduction The Hillsboro R-3 School District has been involved in Strategic Planning for many years. In 1993, a committee comprised of District staff, parents and community members began working on a list of beliefs, a mission statement and a draft list of goals and strategies. This work continues today in the form of annual revisions and development of a new plan at each five-year interval. In the fall of 2014, a committee was formed to review the beliefs, to update the mission statement, vision statement, and to draft goals and strategies. The revised mission and vision statements, goals, objectives and strategies were approved in the spring of 2015. Once formally adopted, this five-year comprehensive plan will incorporate both long-range and short-term goals coupled with improvement indicators that will drive district improvement. The Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) will meet the following criteria: Comply with all requirements outlined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Missouri School Improvement Process (MSIP) Standards. Direct the overall improvement of our district educational programs and services. Provide the district with a focus on long-term planning and progress. Serve as the plan required for application of all Federal Programs. Be the blueprint for improvement efforts and evaluation of these efforts for the Hillsboro R-3 School District. Ensure the goals are implemented. Ensure the mission and vision of our District is being carried out to the fullest extent possible. Our planning efforts have involved a committee of parents, teachers, support staff, board members, students, community members, and administrators. We have created a mission and vision for Hillsboro Schools; and directed the spending of available funds in a fiscally responsible manner that will use tax dollars and state funding to provide the best possible access to programs and services for all District students. Our focus is implemented through collaboration and ongoing evaluation of the plan with the revision of strategies based on research and data. Annually scheduled program reviews initiate any necessary changes. Revisions to the plan will be evaluated and approved by the Board of Education. We continue to strive for excellence throughout the District as we offer exceptional learning opportunities to students, staff and the community.

HILLSBORO R-3 SCHOOL DISTRICT COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Introduction The Hillsboro R-3 School District has been involved in Strategic Planning for many years. In 1993, a committee comprised of District staff, parents and community members began working on a list of beliefs, a mission statement and a draft list of goals and strategies. This work continues today in the form of annual revisions and development of a new plan at each five-year interval. In the fall of 2014, a committee was formed to review the beliefs, to update the mission statement, vision statement, and to draft goals and strategies. The revised mission and vision statements, goals, objectives and strategies were approved in the spring of 2015. Once formally adopted, this five-year comprehensive plan will incorporate both long-range and short-term goals coupled with improvement indicators that will drive district improvement. The Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) will meet the following criteria: Comply with all requirements outlined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Missouri School Improvement Process (MSIP) Standards. Direct the overall improvement of our district educational programs and services. Provide the district with a focus on long-term planning and progress. Serve as the plan required for application of all Federal Programs. Be the blueprint for improvement efforts and evaluation of these efforts for the Hillsboro R-3 School District. Ensure the goals are implemented. Ensure the mission and vision of our District is being carried out to the fullest extent possible. Our planning efforts have involved a committee of parents, teachers, support staff, board members, students, community members, and administrators. We have created a mission and vision for Hillsboro Schools; and directed the spending of available funds in a fiscally responsible manner that will use tax dollars and state funding to provide the best possible access to programs and services for all District students. Our focus is implemented through collaboration and ongoing evaluation of the plan with the revision of strategies based on research and data. Annually scheduled program reviews initiate any necessary changes. Revisions to the plan will be evaluated and approved by the Board of Education. We continue to strive for excellence throughout the District as we offer exceptional learning opportunities to students, staff and the community.
