The Jefferson City School System's Streamlined Consolidated LEA Improvement Plan (S-CLIP) focuses on continuous improvement through stakeholder engagement, addressing the needs of subgroups, and aligning with the state's ESSA plan. The plan emphasizes using data-driven decision-making to improve student performance, providing targeted support for students with disabilities, and ensuring compliance with state and federal laws and regulations.

The Jefferson City Schools FY23 Local Education Agency (LEA) Equity Action Plan addresses equity gaps in student achievement by focusing on equitable access to student support programs and interventions, and targeted teacher development on content, pedagogy, and student supports. The plan uses data analysis from the State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) and local assessments to identify areas needing improvement, particularly for high-poverty and high-minority schools. Interventions include literacy interventions (iStation), strategies to decrease absenteeism, and professional development on curriculum, instruction, assessment, and technology integration. The plan monitors and measures the effectiveness of these interventions through various data points, including iStation usage reports, TKES observation data, student growth data, attendance reports, and performance results from diagnostic assessments. Federal and non-federal resources, including Title I, II, and IV funds, GEER II, and IDEA, are allocated based on needs identified through the continuous school improvement process.

The 2022-2023 School Improvement Plan for Jefferson Academy focuses on three main goals: increasing student engagement through authentic and challenging learning experiences; improving student attendance through incentives, engaging activities, and proactive communication; and fostering healthy relationships between staff and students, as well as between the school and families. Specific strategies include maximizing instructional time, utilizing ELT for remediation and enrichment, implementing engaging questioning strategies, providing collaborative planning for gifted students, and offering professional development on new math standards. Attendance improvement strategies involve classroom incentives, positive student greetings, engaging activities, after-school clubs, and a comprehensive attendance monitoring and follow-up process. Building healthy relationships involves positive family contacts, analyzing student discipline records, implementing the 7 Mindsets framework, regular communication through newsletters and Infinite Campus, maintaining social media presence, conducting family nights, and establishing a Parent Engagement Center. Academic achievement goals aim to increase the percentage of students scoring proficient and distinguished on the GMAS in ELA and Math in grades 3-5 by enhancing guided reading lessons, implementing a word study program, providing writing instruction professional development, and continuing to teach Eureka Math with fidelity.
