The Nelson County Board of Education voted to approve the district’s Comprehensive District Improvement Plan (CDIP) as presented during its Dec. 16 meeting.

District staff described the CDIP as an accountability tool submitted annually to the Kentucky Department of Education that documents district priorities, objectives and activities. Presenters said the plan reflects ongoing instructional work, teacher collaboration systems, shared instructional power practices, and use of data (I‑Ready, KSA, unit assessments) to drive instruction.

Presentations included examples from New Haven School to illustrate common curriculum and interventions (e.g., Ascend small groups, MEAL paragraph writing scaffold). District staff said the CDIP is informed by employee surveys, school priorities and classroom observations and that the full CDIP document provides objective‑level detail and activities aligned to those priorities.

A board member moved to approve the CDIP; another seconded and the board voted in favor. With approval, staff will forward the CDIP to KDE as the district’s formal priorities and proceed with the planned work.

What was not decided: the motion approved the CDIP as presented; the board did not attach additional budget line‑items or specify funding sources in open session during the discussion.
