What is the Balanced Scorecard?

• The Balanced Scorecard is a goal-setting and
  accountability tool that all schools will build
  to specify the efforts of each individual school
  site in meeting the goals and objectives of our
  districts Strategic Plan. The Balanced
  Scorecard (BSC) ensures that we are focused on a
  few common goals designed to improve student
  achievement, and that we are all clear about what
  those goals mean for each of us. Educators,
  parents and others often say we need multiple
  ways to assess the performance of students and
  schools. The BSC offers schools and the community
  at large the opportunity to design just those
  measures.
