SBOE Principles of School Turnaround STUDENT FOCUS Elevating the needs of students who are enrolled in chronically underperforming schools as the primary focus. SUBSIDIARITY Local level actions should be encouraged and supported if the willingness and capacity to act is evident. DIRECT INTERVENTION The SBOE is legally charged with direct intervention after years of unsuccessful attempts and investment of millions of dollars.

Shifting the Support Model Key Considerations School Turnaround is a dynamic activity that requires an unwavering focus on outcomes and flexibility with process Shifting SBOE focus from school-specific to systems-level transformation requires rethinking of other systems/structures Maximizing operator autonomy will enhance the likelihood of sustainability as grant funds gradually decrease
