*3 copies of what your district has submitted online to date for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years

5 Year Plan-Next Steps

• When you leave, review the activities that have been entered so far as a district team

• By June 30th, each district should have submitted their activities online for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years

• The annual summary (narrative section) should also be completed for each goal as part of the plan which should highlight achievements, changes, and next steps

• We will be contacting you after SPDG Day to determine if there are any questions
