Woodland's CSIP
R-IV School District
Comprehensive School
Improvement Plan
2011-2016
Adopted by the Board of Education
October 11, 2011
The Planning Process
The Woodland R-IV School District has had a strong tradition of providing high quality educational programs for the students in our area. The community is both dedicated to and centered on the school district.
In order that the school community maintains the high standards and quality of education which have become the hallmark of the Woodland School District we embarked upon an intensive and comprehensive planning process in order to write a meaningful school improvement plan.
Realizing that a variety of stakeholders are needed to best visualize the future plans for the school district, a comprehensive school improvement committee was formed in 1995 to develop, monitor, and revise the plan. The committee has met on a yearly basis to oversee and rewrite the plan as necessary.
Having developed the first comprehensive school improvement plan, which was adopted by the Woodland Board of Education on February 9, 1998, this committee was vested with the responsibility to oversee the implementation of the plan. The committee also had the responsibility of making suggestions for the revisions, both major and minor, as would be indicated by student performance and/or the changing educational and community needs.
Woodland’s MSIP review for the second cycle was conducted in April 2000. The MSIP report was received at the end of July, so the committee met again during the 2000-01 school year to develop a new Comprehensive School Improvement Plan based on the concerns identified during the MSIP review. The new plan was adopted by the board on 3-12-01.
The committee was revised yearly and met once or twice annually to discuss progress and make any revisions necessary. The revisions were then presented to the board of education for approval.
In the spring of 2005, the committee met to review performance indicators, MSIP advanced questionnaire results, resource reports, and graduate follow-up data to begin the process of writing a plan for the next five year span.
In the spring of 2006, the list of committee members was revised due to the retirement of staff members and the graduation of the senior committee member. The committee met to revise plan to better address the present needs of the school district. Plans were drawn up and presented to the board for approval.
Woodland went through the MSIP 5th cycle in the spring of the 2009-2010 school year. In October 2010 the committee was realigned and a meeting was set in order to write the CSIP Plan for the next five years keeping in mind findings from the MSIP 5th Cycle review.
The 2010-11 Comprehensive School Improvement Committee was composed of the following individuals:
Mrs. Dava Knotts – Director of Special Services, Coordinator of MSIP and Testing Coordinator

Belief Statements
We believe that:
Each child has unique skills and abilities, and that educational programs should provide for this individuality;
The goal of an education for all as a part of public education policy is legitimate;
Change, in the context of improvement, is appropriate and necessary;
The schools belong to the people and the professional educators are the caretakers;
The task of administration is to facilitate the instructional program;
It is the responsibility of the administrators to establish and maintain effective procedures for the implementation of policy;
The board of education and its administrators must do their best to secure top quality instructional personnel because a school can only be as good as its teachers;
The board of education is representative of the community and should formulate policies to provide a quality educational program for the children of the district;
Learning is a life-long process and it is vital that we instill in our children not only knowledge and skills, but also a desire to learn.
MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of the Woodland R-IV School District to ensure that all students acquire the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to participate in an ever-changing society. This will be accomplished by ensuring that each child has access to appropriate and meaningful learning experiences to meet the demands of the twenty-first century. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the Woodland R-IV School District to provide an educational environment for children of the district which will foster and accelerate their moral, intellectual, physical, social, emotional and career development.
