In 1991, the Florida Legislature created Florida's system for school improvement and accountability, referred to as "Blueprint 2000." A cornerstone provision of Blueprint 2000 is to return responsibility to those closest to the students, that is, the schools, teachers, and parents. This report provides in-depth information for five school districts (Alachua, Monroe, Orange, Sarasota, and Washington) and 19 schools within these districts. The report provides information for each of the 5 school districts and 19 schools on the school improvement process; stakeholder perceptions on the school improvement process, school improvement plans, and impact of school improvement initiatives; and examples of school improvement initiatives.
