Board adopts ISBE targeted improvement plan for Devonshire Elementary with $31,000 in state support
Summary
The board approved a three-year Illinois State Board of Education targeted school improvement plan for Devonshire Elementary to address performance—especially for students with disabilities—and chronic absenteeism; the plan includes $31,000 in state school improvement grant funding.
The board approved the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) targeted school improvement plan for Devonshire Elementary after staff described the school's identification for targeted support, particularly for students with disabilities. The plan is a three-year effort: this past year was planning and next year is implementation year one. Staff said the district will likely partner with outside providers (for example, the Catalyst for Educational Change) for professional development focused on special education instruction.
Attendance was highlighted as a key barrier: staff said they are exploring targeted supports, possibly through North Cook, to designate a person at Devonshire to help address chronic absenteeism. The ISBE grant will provide about $31,000 in school-improvement funding for the plan's initial years.
