Continuous School Improvement Plan

The mission of Otterville School District R-VI is to prepare individual students for responsible citizenship in our ever-changing global society by promoting full academic, personal, physical, and career development enabling each learner to gain skills which can be used in assisting society toward solving future problems.

All employees of the district were granted an opportunity to be interviewed and respond to a survey.  The results were synthesized by members of the E.G.L. team. Questions were asked of employees regarding the direction of the district and items employees wanted to see addressed in the future of the district. In addition, an electronic survey was made available to external stakeholders of the district. The survey questions results have been maintained as documentation for the district.  

An electronic survey was sent to all secondary students in the school district.  The students were asked questions regarding how the district could better serve the students that follow them.

Continuous School Improvement Plan

Members of the E.G.L. team took the results of the interviews and surveys and synthesized this information into priorities that were coupled with the information gathered from the Data Dive. The Data Dive was conducted by members of the E.G.L. team and consisted of all documents, plans and resources that are considered required and/or Best Practice.  

The Priorities were shared with the leadership team of the district.  Subsequently, members of the E.G.L. team developed objectives and S.M.A.R.T. goals. The priorities, objectives and S.M.A.R.T. goals were shared with the leadership team of he district and subsequently with the school board. 

The financial impact of the Continuous School Improvement Plan adopted by the school board will only occur as plans that are created are implemented. The CSIP guides the district budget and is referenced in the budget message approved by the Board of Education. In other words, other than current expenditures of the district, this is not an immediate financial impact on the district.
