Perry Local Schools
2027-2029
The One Plan is a systematic consolidated planning tool for educational entity operations, strategically aligned to funding and resources and focused on improving outcomes for all students. This plan will provide direction for our district initiatives and instructional decision-making for the next three years.
The following is Perry Local's proposed One Plan goals, strategies, and action steps. This was generated by the completion of the One Needs Assessment, a tool provided by the Ohio Department of Education.
The Plan is open to public comment from 4/8/2026-4/15/2026. In order to participate, please fill out the One Plan Feedback Form found at the bottom of this page.
By June 1, 2029, Perry Local will increase 'On Track to Graduate' rates by 15% for students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and low-socioeconomic status subgroups in Grades 6-12, monitored via ODDEX and Early Warning Indicators.
Strategies and Actions
Strategy #1: College and Career Readiness
Strategy Level: Level 1
Description:
Check & Connect is a dropout prevention strategy that relies on close monitoring of school performance mentoring, case management, and other supports. The program has two main components: “Check” and “Connect.” The Check component is designed to continually assess student engagement through close monitoring of student performance and progress indicators. The Connect component involves program staff giving individualized attention to students, in partnership with school personnel, family members, and community service providers. Students enrolled in Check & Connect are assigned a “monitor” who regularly reviews their performance (in particular, whether students are having attendance, behavior, or academic problems) and intervenes when
problems are identified. The monitor also advocates for students, coordinates services, provides ongoing feedback and encouragement, and emphasizes the importance of staying in school.

This strategy addresses the gap closure requirement for Equitable Access to Effective Educators ESEA Section 1112.
This strategy addresses the professional development requirement for LEA Plans in ESEA Section 1114, Section 2102(b)(2)(D), 3115(c)2.
This strategy addresses the parent engagement requirement for LEA plans in ESEA Section 1112.This strategy addresses the gap closure requirement for Equitable Access to Effective Educators ESEA Section 1112.
Action Steps
Audit ODDEX and building at-risk records to disaggregate student subgroups and identify early warning triggers.
Support buildings with developing a toolkit of basic and intense interventions for both academics and behavior.
Research mentorship models for at risk students (ex: Check & Connect) to assist buildings with designing personalized mentorship models.
Continue (from Previous One Plan) to develop additional Career Tech and elective course offerings (ex: Computer Science) that enhance career readiness skills.
Assist buildings with designing a pilot at-risk mentorship group.
Provide professional development around at-risk mentorship model to pilot group.
Implement pilot mentorship model with at-risk students (focused on high needs students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and economically disadvantaged populations).
Evaluate the success of pilot mentorship model and plan for subsequent training/rollout.
Based on findings from pilot mentorship model, design an implementation plan that spans beyond at-risk students, focused on all students.
Provide professional development to all participating teachers/staff around mentorship model.
Support (with coaching) building-wide implementation of mentorship model.
Strategy #2: School Climate and Supports
Strategy Level: Level 2
Description:
The district has selected the integration of School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) with Restorative Practices (RP) as a primary strategy for improving school climate and student behavioral outcomes. This integrated framework meets the ESEA/ESSA Tier 2 (Moderate Evidence) standard, supported by quasi-experimental research demonstrating statistically significant improvements in school safety and a reduction in exclusionary discipline. By combining the proactive, tiered organizational structure of PBIS with the relational, community-building focus of Restorative Practices, we aim to move beyond traditional compliance-based discipline. While PBIS establishes the necessary systems for defining, teaching, and reinforcing positive behavioral expectations Restorative Practices provide the pedagogical tools to repair harm and maintain healthy interpersonal connections.
This dual-approach strategy is justified by its documented efficacy in reducing Office Discipline Referrals (ODRs) and narrowing the achievement gap by decreasing the time students spend out of the classroom due to suspensions. Research indicates that when these two systems are implemented with high fidelity, the resulting "restorative-developmental" climate fosters greater student engagement and more equitable disciplinary outcomes. Our implementation will focus on leveraging the PBIS data-driven decision-making model to monitor the impact of restorative circles and mediation, ensuring that our interventions are both systematic and responsive to the social-emotional needs of our diverse student population.

This strategy addresses the parent engagement requirement for LEA plans in ESEA Section 1112.
Action Steps
Assist buildings with designing an Attendance Incentive Program, inclusive of family engagement opportunities.
Conduct a data analysis (disaggregated by subgroup) of 25-26 behavior data contributing to in-school and out-of-school suspensions.
Audit current PBIS system for "low-level" offenses that can be diverted from in school-suspension to a restorative process.
Provide PBIS supports for implementation of emotion regulation strategies for Tier II/III students.
Assist buildings with implementing Attendance Incentive Program, inclusive of family engagement opportunities.
Identify professional development needs around restorative practices district-wide and building specific.
Provide restorative practice professional development to a pilot group (identified mentor staff) connected to high needs students with disabilities, English Learners, and economically disadvantaged populations.
Identify pilot groups (behavior at-risk) and begin strategic implementation of trained restorative practices.
Identify needed Code of Conduct revisions, staff guidance, and family engagement needs centered around the shift from punitive discipline to restorative options.
Provide specialist training to Deans of Students, School Counselors, and administrators in formal restorative conferencing.
Provide restorative practice professional development to all staff members.
Student Measures:
The Principal will track chronic absenteeism quarterly via the district attendance dashboard, targeting a 10% yearly decrease of students identified as chronically absent (30% across 3 years) by the end of the three year plan.
The Principal will monitor quarterly suspension data to achieve a 10% annual reduction (30% decrease from the baseline across 3 years) (24-25 Baseline In: 414 / Out: 206).
The Principal will monitor at-risk students' grades quarterly, targeting a 30% reduction in core course failures by the end of the plan.

Description:
Effective Instruction of Numbers (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics)
A focus on effective instruction of numbers with respect to skill efficiency and conceptual understanding by exploring the eight Standards of Mathematical Practice that are proven to increase student learning. This research is supported by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and studies have shown that a focus on conceptual development also increased students' skills at a level equal or greater than those of students in the control groups. Students who mastered skills via conceptually supportive conditions acquired a greater depth of competencies versus those students who were taught in with a more strict focus on only developing skill.
