A Tradition of Excellence.....Imagine Greatness

Parents, Guardians and Community Members


Wyalusing Area School District is engaged in a state-required comprehensive planning process. Every District must complete a new Comprehensive Plan every three years. Our District plan is due to the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) on November 30, 2021.


What is comprehensive planning?


Comprehensive Planning (CP) collectively consists of the District Level Plan (DLP) and its School Level Plans (SLP). The DLP is comprised of an entire collection of district-specific action plans. Each action plan consists of strategies implemented through implementation steps, geared towards accomplishing the identified goal. The DLP goals focus on one or more of the high priority systemic challenges documented within the Needs Assessment section. 

 

The Comprehensive Plan is a compliance document that contains seven sections:


READY

   Prepare for Planning


SET

   Complete the Needs Assessment


GO

   Develop the Plan


Other Required Reports


   Academic Standards & Assessment Requirements (Chapter 4)

   Induction Plan (Chapter 49)

   Professional Development Plan (Act 48)

   Student Services Assurances (Chapter 12)

   Gifted Education Plan Assurances (Chapter 16)
