District outlines continuous school improvement process; elementary principals present school targets and action plans

Doctor Pimentel, a district staff member, reviewed the district’s Continuous School Improvement (CSI) framework and how it informs school‑level targets. The CSI model the district uses is a cyclical four‑step process — root‑cause analysis, vision setting, action planning and impact review — and the district is aligning school goals to Pennsylvania’s statewide interim targets and a locally calculated “2033 goal” trajectory.

Pimentel explained the district’s approach to targets: state interim targets for all schools provide a statewide marker, and the district computes school‑specific year‑by‑year goals using each school’s baseline and the gap to the 2033 target. He said the district has used CSI training since 2023–24, launched one CSI team per school in 2024–25 and is increasing team activity this year with the goal of moving from isolated teams to schoolwide practice.

Principals from the district’s elementary schools then presented school‑level analyses and action plans.
