2012 - 2013 Local School Plan For Improvement
LSPI Objectives
SHILOH ELEMENTARY
Thomas D Trippany, Principal
Jonathan Patterson, Area Superintendent
Accountability and flexibility are hallmarks of Gwinnett County Public Schools' success. Key to that success is ensuring that each school community
understands the progress being made by its schools, as well as what plans will drive improvement. Each school creates a collaborative Local School Plan for
Improvement (LSPI), with targeted goals based on student achievement results. These goals are dynamic, like our schools, and are updated to reflect changes
that occur in schools. Data is used to determine areas needing improvement and to identify specific, measurable, annual objectives. Schools then determine
how to use research-based strategies to achieve these goals, using flexibility as needed. The LSPI development process involves teachers, parents, and
community members, so the entire school community has the opportunity to be involved in conversations about school improvement. Please contact the
local school principal for more information about the school's plan and progress.
