Committee reviews draft School Improvement Team policy aligned to Rhode Island School Improvement Act
Summary
The committee read a revised School Improvement Team (SIT) policy (10-24) drafted to align with the Rhode Island School Improvement Act of 2019 and discussed timing for further edits and adoption at a future meeting.
The Tiverton School Committee reviewed a redlined draft of Policy 10-24, which updates the district’s School Improvement Team policy to align with the Rhode Island School Improvement Act of 2019.
The committee’s policy subcommittee prepared the draft with the district attorney’s input, and members said the draft will be posted as a clean document ahead of a future read-and-vote. “What you have in your packet is a redlined version. We will be posting a clean version very soon,” the chair said during the presentation.
Committee members discussed the policy’s requirements, including an annual review of team membership and how the school improvement teams’ reporting ties to principals’ fall school improvement plans. A member asked whether minutes will be produced; the committee clarified that SIT meetings are not covered by the state open‑meetings law and are not required to post agendas or minutes, though principals may choose to keep minutes and share them with the district.
Next steps: The committee asked members to submit suggested edits for grammar or clarity by email to the chair and the policy subcommittee so the policy can return for a read-and-vote at the next meeting.
