ALT = The Acme Leadership Team takes the place of the previous Acme Steering Committee.  The role and expectations of this group have changed in the Continuous School Improvement model.

DDD = District Directed Day (7 hours that can be chunked into portions to add to a regularly scheduled staff meeting to provide extra time to work through the Continuous School Improvement activities.)

Flex Time = Classified staff can accrue unused hours on Elementary Early Release Days that may be redistributed to provide time for their participation in Continuous School Improvement activities.
