District 99 Goals
2009-2010
Goal I
By June 30, 2010, the reading and mathematical skills of 77.5% or more of all students will meet expectations for the Illinois Learning Standards as measured by the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE). This goal is derived from NCLB standards.
Goal II
During the 2009-10 school year, the student attendance rate at each campus will be at the 95% level or higher as measured on the respective School Report Card.
Goal III
By June 30, 2010, substantial preparations will have been completed to launch the development of a comprehensive multi-year Strategic Plan promptly upon the commencement of the 2010-11 school year in July 2010. The Board of Education currently contemplates that this Strategic Plan will address the following topics, among others:
(1) The development of a process to identify, implement and measure the effectiveness of current and additional student interventions to assist all students in their mastery of the Illinois Learning Standards.
(2) The development of a process to undertake appropriate “due diligence” associated with the adoption of a Master Site Plan, including development of a process to make tough choices arising from budgetary constraints and time constraints in a considered and transparent manner.
(3) The development of a process to implement those community engagement and communications recommendations, as deemed appropriate by the Board of Education from the recently concluded Communications Audit.
(4) The Strategic Plan will also include alternatives and contingencies to allow flexible adjustments to the Strategic Plan itself to accommodate changing circumstances.
The goal to be achieved by June 30, 2010 is to have preparations in place that will allow a “running start” for the actual formulation of a multi-year Strategic Plan beginning July 2010, with a subsequent goal of adopting a completed Strategic Plan no later than June 2011, or sooner if feasible.
2010-2011
Goal I
By June 30, 2011, the reading and mathematical skills of 85% or more of all students will meet expectations for the Illinois Learning Standards as measured by the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE). This goal is derived from NCLB standards.
Goal II
By June 30, 2011, a Strategic Plan will be prepared and adopted to establish the long-term goals for the District. The Board of Education currently contemplates that this Strategic Plan will address the following topics, among others:

(3) Community engagement and communications recommendations.
(4) The Strategic Plan will also include alternatives and contingencies to allow flexible adjustments to the Strategic Plan itself to accommodate changing circumstances.
Goal III
By June 30, 2011, a new process shall have been substantially initiated for the appraisal of teaching performance in keeping with emerging research and best practice and in a manner that will recognize each teacher’s role and accountability in achieving District goals and improving student learning. It is understood that the completion of this goal will be attained over a 3 to 5 year period.
