Appendix A DSIT Proposal Format Request for: Date: Building: Contact Person: The Proposal: Data Providing Evidence of Need: Supporting Data for the Proposal: Cost of the Proposal (Initial and On-going): Other Options Considered and Why They Were Rejected: Follow-up Date and Data to be Provided: SAMPLE Request for: Summer School DSIT Proposal Format Date: May 16, 2007 Building: Elementary Contact Person: Super-Teacher The Proposal: Offer summer school for basic reading skills on: August 6-23, M - Th, 8 a.m.- 11:30 a.m. Data Providing Evidence of Need: XXXXXX scores have shown that an average of 20% of students score lower in the fall on the basic reading skills vs. the previous spring. This drop makes it difficult to make the gains necessary to reach the benchmarks by the end of the year. Middle scoring groups continue to fall behind in reading throughout the year because the benchmark is raised and they have difficulty catching up. Our school improvement plan requires that students be provided opportunities for extended practice and remediation in reading.
