Gwinnett County School District logo




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) to increase student achievement results, with targeted goals based on the four strategic priorities within the district’s Blueprint for the Future: Empathy, Equity, Effectiveness, and Excellence. All schools across the district will focus on goals 2A- Multi-tiered Systems of Support and 2B- Opportunity and Access. Additionally, schools are required to select one goal from each of the other strategic priorities. LSPI goals are dynamic, like our schools, and are updated to reflect changes that occur in schools. Multiple data points are 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, students, and community members, so the entire school community has the opportunity to be involved in conversations about school improvement.

Growth Factors (Baseline & Targets)
Empathy 1.B - Staff and Student Well Being

Promoting student and staff wellbeing by prioritizing self-care, physical and mental health, and social emotional learning will lead to a reduction in the number of students and staff members chronically absent from school. 

 

 
  1. Monthly recognition for all staff members with perfect attendance, including a monthly winner drawn randomly for additional recognition.
  2. All staff members responsible for an RBES Goal aligned to improving their annual attendance.
  3. Teachers responsible for documenting parental contact for students who are absent five consecutive days.
  4. PBIS will recognize students by grade for attendance prizes and recognition
  5. PBIS committee will plan two (2) recognition events for students each semester. Recognition will be based on attendance and students being on-time to class. 
  6. Daily phone calls to parents of absent students will be made via ParentSquare. 
  7. Attendance liaison will meet with students to review attendance data and provide support as needed. 
  8. Required SARC meetings including student, parent, attendance liaison, school social worker, counselor and principal for chronically absent students.  

Student Attendance - Growth will be measured by reducing the number of students who are absent 11-15 days and 16 days or more.

Baseline: 

  • Days Absent 11-15              510
  • Days Absent 16 or More     957

Teacher Attendance - Growth will be measured by reducing the number of sick and personal days absent and increasing the Attendance Rate

Baseline:
