Shared Decision Making Site Governance Handbook (English .pdf) (Spanish .pdf)
Shared Decision Making (SDM) is a collaborative process designed to improve the learning environment and student achievement within an atmosphere of trust and respect. The SDM process allows stakeholders to draw upon their expertise to support increased student achievement. In HLPUSD, the SDM process is implemented at the individual sites in conjunction with School Site Council. The Shared Decision Making process recognizes the importance of stakeholder involvement in the success of public education. Shared Decision Making is based on trust and a belief in the strength of shared responsibility in decision making to positively impact student achievement. It is also recognized that an additional benefit of the SDM process is increased stakeholder morale.
