C-Plan (consolidated Plan) 

C-Plan or Consolidated Plan is a collection site for reports, data and progress notes for districts and schools. C-Plan functions as a school or district-wide planning tool that guides the instructional focus (goal priorities) for school districts and accredited nonpublic schools in Iowa. C-Plan does not contain all that a school does; it contains actions that are centered on improving teaching and learning, at a minimum, in the areas of reading, mathematics, science, and other local indicators for student achievement.


Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP)

As a part of ongoing improvement, schools and districts adopt a written comprehensive school improvement plan (CSIP) designed for continuous school, parental, and community involvement in the development and monitoring of a plan that is aligned with school or school district determined needs. The plan incorporates goal setting, planning, and evaluation.

Annual Progress Report (APR)

The APR is an electronic report submitted to the Iowa Department of Education (IDoE) annually (September 15th) by public districts and accredited non-public schools. This report includes information regarding academic proficiency, academic goals, dropouts, graduation rates, attendance rates, and post-secondary data.

District Developed Service Delivery Plan (DDSDP)

Sept. 15 - District Developed Service Delivery Plan for districts who had an accreditation site-visit during the 2012-13 school year; district approval of assurances by September 15

The DDSDP is a written description of the district’s special education delivery system in required areas (how services will be provided; how the system was developed; determining, monitoring, and resolving concerns regarding teacher caseloads; evaluating the effectiveness of the system; how the system will meet state targets/needs identified) according to the Iowa Rules (41.408(2). These plans must be reviewed, revised, and readopted at least every 5 years. This process is typically completed by September 15th of the year following the district’s School Improvement Visit.
