Empowerment Schools

CCSD Empowerment Schools 2009-2010

Empowerment Schools ensure that maximum dollars reach students in the classroom. They have a direct role in diagnosing their own specific needs and implementing their plans by working outside the normal mechanics of central-office banking.  Rather than being the recipient of funds with predetermined uses, Empowerment Schools are given the autonomy to deploy their resources for maximum impact, according to the needs of their community.

With increased autonomy comes increased responsibility for results.  Empowerment Schools are expected to:

• Demonstrate fiscal efficiency and effectiveness.
• Comply with all CCSD polices and regulations, all state and federal requirements, as well as all contractual and legal mandates, unless specific waivers have been granted.
• Make annual progress toward goals for student achievement and school environment.

When specific yearly student achievement and school environment targets are met, Empowerment School educators are rewarded with “Pay for Performance.”
