CIP Changes

On February 17, 2012, the principal had made three additional changes to the CIP plan that was signed off previously during the year.  The changes were that all students would be taught by certified teachers, after school ELL parents could attend ESL classes that utilize the Spanish Rosetta Stone program to learn English, and that teachers will use R-Time to assist with student respect.  No meeting was called to make the adjustment, only that we come in to sign off on the changes.

CIP Meeting

On November 7, 2012, the principal had called a meeting to review the 2011-2012 CIP documents.  The principal first notified everyone on the committee that there would be a meeting with an attachment of the document in case a person wanted to review the document before the meeting.  After school, people on the committee did a come and go meeting.  One could walk to tables that had the document printed and read through all the components.  After the person read the document, the person just had to sign-off stating that it was reviewed.

As a principal, I am sure this is the easiest way as to not have a debate on any of the issues since the whole group was not there at the same time.  Not saying that I had any issues with the document, but to me it was a document put together by the principal and everyone just signed off on - no real collaboration went into the document.
