Arkansas Comprehensive School Improvement Planning

The Arkansas Comprehensive School Improvement Planning (ACSIP) model is an annual planning and fund distribution design that must be used by all Arkansas public and charter schools, as defined by Ark. Code Ann. § 6-15-419. Using the ACSIP model, each school in Arkansas develops a comprehensive school improvement plan. The plan is also used as the school's application for all federal programs administered by the Arkansas Department of Education, under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), in addition to Student Special Use Funds. It must include activities based on the school's greatest needs and identify the performance of student subgroups if the subgroup did not meet the achievement level necessary for Adequate Yearly Progress (ADE Comprehensive State Application Accountability Plan, 2004).
