2. What is a CSIP?
A long-range (5-year) “road map” providing direction to improve the district’s overall performance.
Step-by-step determination of:
Where you are
Where you want to go
How you wish to get there
When you want to arrive
Who will do the work
How much are you willing to pay

3. Why have a CSIP? Reference: 2 CFR Part 200.404
Allocable: A cost is allocable to a particular Federal award or other cost objective if the goods or services involved are chargeable or assignable to the Federal award or cost objective in accordance with relative benefits received. This standard is met if the cost:
• is incurred specifically for the Federal award;
• benefits both the Federal award and other work of the non-Federal entity and can be distributed in proportions that may be approximated using reasonable methods; and
• is necessary to the overall operation of the non-Federal entity and is assignable in part to the Federal award.
All activities which benefit from the non-Federal entity’s indirect cost, including unallowable activities and donated services by the non-Federal entity or third parties, will receive an appropriate allocation of indirect costs.

4. Why have a CSIP? MSIP standard 8.2:
The district has an ongoing, written Comprehensive School Improvement Plan which direct the overall improvement of it’s educational programs and services.

5. Why have a CSIP?
To drive improvement in student learning and guide the overall improvement of the district’s or building’s educational programs and services.

6. Planning doesn’t guarantee success – it improves the odds of success
A quality CSIP allows a district to:
allocate resources (facilities, personnel, revenue)
redefine, add or eliminate programs
focus on improvement of student achievement and performance levels
