The Michigan Department of Education (MDE), in partnership with the Michigan Association of State and Federal Program Specialists (MAS/FPS), is offering a Schoolwide (SW) planning workshop: “Schoolwide Clarifications, Data Collection, Documentation Requirements, and Plan Reviews.” Recent audits of the MDE by the federal government revealed a need for updating of SW plans throughout the state.

This SW planning session will provide an opportunity to work on the SW plans for any Title I buildings in your district that have completed the mandated year of planning any time in the past. A special effort will be made to provide clear guidance on required components, share samples of approved plans, and review the rubric available for continued work on the school’s SW plan when the workshop is over.

The session will assist any current Title I school in understanding the requirements and also provide a foundation for the mandatory evaluation of the existing plan. Consider sending a small team to the session so they can share the information with the rest of the school’s team.
