Sample plan reviews flag measurement misalignment and mismatched expenditures
Summary
During a short review exercise of North Shore and Shermer Prep plans, participants most often found measurement misalignment and expenditures not tied to the stated academic need; the trainer asked boards to look for those three recurring issues.
Board members worked in small groups to review two sample plans (North Shore and Shermer Prep) and identified recurring compliance concerns. The trainer summarized the main findings: "So 1 is measurement alignment. The other 1 is mismatched expenditures," and also noted unclear or conflicting numeric values in plans can prompt amendments.
Participants discussed specific cases — such as a science activity when math was the school’s lowest-scoring area — and used those examples to practice returning plans for clarification or amendment before district submission. The trainer encouraged using clear descriptions in action steps to make connections between spending and academic goals.
