SAF Self-Assessment

The SAF self-assessment tool linked below is intended to spark conversations with fellow district leaders, the school board, and families as you consider School Actions. The recommendations you will receive after using this tool are created using formulas, but the tool is not an exact science. You know your district best, so please keep the human element in mind as you explore SAF through the Self-Assessment.
