Title I Program Administrator
South Dakota Department of Education

I have been coordinating and working with school improvement at the department for nearly 5 years. With ESSA, I determined the need for South Dakota to have a uniform, detailed school level needs assessment that will inform the school improvement plans. We asked AIR to help facilitate and guide the process of creating a document and process that our Comprehensive Support and Improvement Schools will utilize with the guide of a School Support Team professional. Schools will determine areas of needs to focus on and create their improvement plans based off the results of the needs assessment.
