    Our Mission Statement
    The mission of the Ida B. Wells High School Site Council is to provide leadership, direction and support towards the improvement of the school’s instruction program and student achievement.   The scope of work of the council is in the following areas:

    • Establish and prioritize student performance goals.

    • Assist in developing and implementing a process for preparing an annual School Continuous Improvement Plan (SCIP).  Ensure that the goals address the key areas for student performance and improvement.

    • Approve and monitor the SCIP to assure that the work outline is being accomplished, and it is achieving its goals.

    • Inform and engage the IBW community through surveys and outreach regarding the school improvement goals and the SCIP.

    • Regularly review and maintain a current school profile.

    • Assure that staff development activities support the SCIP.

    • Support the SIP’s implementation by identifying and participating in efforts to acquire new resources to support the SCIP.

    • Look for opportunities to secure grants for the professional development of teachers and classified employees related to the SCIP.
