Shared decision-making (SDM) enables all members of the Salamanca community to become stakeholders in the process of encouraging meaningful learning and positive educational change. The district officials define shared decision-making as a process in which all members collaborate in identifying problems, define goals, formulating policy and implementing programs by consensus. This includes the use of Title 1 funding. Continuously SDM has empowered the Salamanca School to create and recreate a stimulating community environment for learning.

Each of our buildings participate in joint planning for the District. This is an opportunity to bring parents, administration, community, and staff together to discuss building level issues, collaboratively work to improve student achievement, and plan for the use of Title 1 funding.

If you would like to be a member, please contact your child’s school principal, or the Superintendent at 945- 2400.

What information must LEAs provide parents about the teachers and paraprofessionals who work with their children?

At the beginning of each school year, LEAs must inform parents of each student attending a Title I, Part A school of their right to request information about the professional qualifications of both the teachers and the paraprofessionals who teach and work with their children in an understandable and uniform format, including alternative formats upon request, and, “to the extent practicable,” in a language that parents understand. [See A-8, A-9 and A-10 for additional information on communicating with parents; Appendix B for a list of the key notification requirements; and for information on paraprofessionals in Title I, Part A programs, see the Title I Paraprofessionals Non-Regulatory Guidance at:  http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/paraguidance.pdf.]
