School improvement planning provides a mechanism for identifying needs and establishing a common approach to meeting those needs at the school level. Effective school improvement planning contributes to overall school performance. School Improvement Plans remain in effect for no more than two years and must be approved by the local Board of Education biannually. Plans are amended periodically to reflect each school’s efforts toward meeting established goals.

In Durham Public Schools, all schools post, track, and link to their School Improvement Plans in NCStar, a web-based school improvement management tool. This tool can be accessed for each school using the guest login information in the table below.
