Ohio Improvement Process
DLT/BLT/TBT
Groveport Madison Schools began the Ohio Improvement Process in September, 2008 by forming a District Leadership Team. The District Leadership Team (DLT) was formed to examine the district's progress and make recommendations that would lead to all students achieving at their highest rate.  In 2009, the each staff formed a Building Leadership Team (BLT) and followed with Teacher Based Teams (TBTs).

Goal 1: By 2011-12 school year, students in all subgroups grades 3-8 and 10 will increase performance on the reading OAT/OGT by meeting Adequate Yearly Progress.

Goal 2: By 2011-12 school year, in grades 3-8 and 10 will increase performance on the math OAT/OGT by 4% per year.

Goal 3:
