As intended by The Education Reform Act of 1993, the NCAHS School Council has five major areas of responsibility: 1. Adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards; 2. Identifying the needs of students attending the school; 3. Reviewing the annual school budget; 4. Formulating a School Improvement Plan; and 5. Reviewing the Student Handbook each spring to consider changes in policy to take effect for the following year. ELEMENTS OF THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLAN The School Improvement Plan, as described in the legislation, is mandated to include the following elements. The NCAHS School Improvement Plan also addresses these components. 1. An assessment of: The impact of class size on student performance Student-to-teacher ratios Ratios of students to other supportive adult resources 2. A scheduled plan for reducing class size, if deemed necessary 3. Professional development for the school s staff and the allocation of any professional development funds in the school budget 4.
