Program Description: The focus of School Improvement Services for the 2010-2011 school year will be to assist all SIS member schools to increase student achievement and close achievement gaps by facilitating and sustaining a continuous improvement process. Greenbush School Improvement Services has been reorganized to better assist member schools, increase student achievement, close the achievement gap and sustain a continuous improvement process.
