Introduction
The SIP is a planning tool designed to address student achievement and system needs identified through the school's
comprehensive needs assessment (CNA). Additionally, the SIP provides a method for schools to address the school
improvement planning requirements of Public Act 25 of the Revised School Code and the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA) as applicable.
