SBDM Committee
What is SBDM?
Site-based decision-making (SBDM) is a process for decentralizing decisions to improve educational outcomes at every school campus through a collaborative effort among the school community. Through an integrated process, the superintendent of schools, district staff; principals, teachers, campus staff parents, and community and business representatives assess educational outcomes of all students. From the district level to the campus level, the objective is to determine goals and strategies and ensure that strategies are implemented and adjusted to improve student achievement, guide student development, and improve school operations.
We do this in service to Woodrow's mission:
Woodrow Wilson High School aims to expand opportunities to students by developing an exemplary program which will include the rigorous study of traditional discipline and educating the whole person so that students become life-long learners, self-aware and compassionate thinkers, and informed participants in both local and world affairs. Woodrow Wilson High School will encourage and foster a culture so that students are more accepting of cultural diversity and continue to develop an international perspective. Woodrow Wilson High School will encourage students in an urban setting to set high standards so that they can become ambassadors and learn from other students across the world as they become active, compassionate global citizens.
Meeting Format
In each meeting, we will receive a report from Principal Barnett regarding status/updates on "the 3 S's"--Students, Staff, Space. We will then have reports from subcommittee chairs. Each subcommittee is co-chaired by 1 staff member/teacher and 1 parent.
Woodrow SBDM subcommittees are: Curriculum and Instructional Assessment; Staff and Parent Skills Development; Budget; Facilities and Safety; Community Outreach and Advocacy; Coordinated School Health; and Drop Out Prevention.
