PILOT PROJECTS
 

The Board of Education shall encourage the development of pilot projects aimed at improving the educational program. A pilot project is defined as the introduction of a new educational program, strategy, material or equipment on a trial basis. It will be implemented for a specified period of time deemed to be sufficient for fair evaluation of the project’s feasibility and success in meeting a district need.
 

Project Proposals


Project Proposals
 

Proposals for pilot projects must include a statement of the project goals, anticipated expenses, staffing previsions, synopsis of implementation strategies, and plans for the evaluation of the project. Proposals should be submitted to the team leader or department chairperson and to the building principal. The proposal will then be referred to the superintendent of schools for administrative review. All pilot programs will be recommended by the superintendent of schools to the Board of Education for approval prior to implementation.
 
The superintendent of schools will submit periodic reports to the Board of Education on all on-going projects and project evaluations. The Board of Education may, at its discretion, terminate a pilot program at any time.
