A hallmark of the process is embracing and working through resistance for systemic change.

The InSAI process helped to systematize the process of implementation, monitoring, and reporting the major strategies of the approved [Indianapolis Public Schools] improvement plan.

One valuable aspect of the [InSAI] process is the concept of the building steering team. School representatives were trained to empower the rest of the school community to implement a data-informed decisions around targeted areas of improvement. Rather than having an external mandate or recommendation, the targeted areas were created within the school community.

I recommend that IPS continue to work with InSAI as the single, consistent data-informed mechanism.

“Our district has had (4) audits in the (4) years I have served as Title I program administrator - national, regional, and state audits.

Because of the InSAI process used in writing our school improvement plans, our district has not been cited for any major compliance issues from any of these audits.”
