Agenda Item Summary: After the first year of the ACPS 2020 strategic plan reporting cycle, an in-depth review was conducted to ensure that KPIs and targets are appropriate in informing stakeholders on division progress. KPIs were reviewed through internal department meetings to ensure that indicators were specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Departments met with Accountability to review draft KPI revisions. KPI revisions were then presented to the Senior Leadership team for final approval. Specific KPI revisions (including revisions to targets, additions, and deletions) along with rationale are detailed in the attached document entitled, “ACPS 2020 KPI Revision Details”.
Background: The Board adopted the ‘ACPS 2020’ strategic goals and objectives on June 11, 2015. A Scorecard was developed establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for each strategic plan objective. These KPIs are aimed to inform division performance in the specific objective area on an annual basis and ultimately, if ACPS reaches the goal established for school year 2020. On May 20, 2016, the Board was provided with an update to the ACPS 2020 Scorecard, along with documented methodologies regarding how targets were selected.

Reported KPI outcomes for the 2015-2016 school year were presented to the Board by goal area from October 2016 through February 2017.
Recommendation: KPIs and targets will warrant an annual review process to validate their appropriateness in informing stakeholders and the division on progress. In fall 2017 the division will begin reporting out on 2016-17 school year performance utilizing an updated scorecard which incorporates the aforementioned KPI revisions.
