The School Head convenes the School-Community Planning Team (SPT)—comprising program coordinators, parent representatives, student leaders, local government unit (LGU) members, and community stakeholders—for the foundational phase of the School Improvement Plan (SIP) development. The team gathers, organizes, and analyzes school-community data templates and reviews the School Report Card (SRC) to evaluate academic performance, attendance, resources, and campus facilities. Additionally, the session revisits the Department of Education’s Vision, Mission, and Core Values (Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, Makabansa) to establish a unified strategic direction, shared accountability, and evidence-based decision-making for upcoming school programs.
