Purpose of SIAC:

To meet the requirements of Iowa Code Section 280.12(2), the Clarinda School Board of Education appoints and charges a School Improvement Advisory Committee (SIAC) with making recommendations to the Board on an annual basis. Based on the committee members’ analysis of the needs assessment data, they will make recommendations to the Board about the following components:

  1. Major educational needs
  2. Student learning goals
  3. Long-range and annual goals that include, but are not limited to, the state indicators that address reading, mathematics, science achievement and social-emotional learning
  4. Curriculum, assessment, and instruction
  5. Bullying and harassment prevention goals, programs, training, and other initiatives

The SIAC makes decisions based on the best interest of all students and is aligned with the district’s mission, vision, and beliefs. Our SIAC is a valuable component of our school improvement process.
