Plainfield School District SOA: A great "discovery" tool for parents and concerned residents

The Plainfield school board voted this past Tuesday (p.39) on the adoption of the new NJ Quality Single Accountability Continuum's "Statement of Assurance"(QSAC's SOA as it is better known). This time it seems to be a self-assessment but don't quote me on this one as I "skimmed" the new QSAC guidelines document, nonetheless the "Statement of Assurance" I did read. I even marked it to show few things:

--Who is responsible for the accuracy of this document
--What I know to be public documents (like the curriculums!)
--That I am not crazy when I asked for "procedures" because the state is also asking for them
(the state might select to ask for the procedures, we don't have a choice, we must ask, and ask, if we want the school district to improve!)


So, I am leaving you with the marked document, below. If you have a chance, please, take a look at it and if you see something that you think needs to be marked up so we can track it down later on, please, by all means, use the comment box to let me know. Lets ALL OF US hold the district and the school board accountable.

(I am changing to Blogger's new format, thus there are settings I am still try to work out, for the document below just click the link and you will be able to open it as a Scribd document.  Sorry!)
