To require the SPI, by August 2006, to develop and disseminate a comprehensive student-centered planning program. The program elements include: 1) A long-term mentor-student relationship for every student at the school; 2) Curriculum to be used by the mentor in helping the student develop, implement, and maintain a plan for meeting long-term learning objectives with an emphasis on how those objectives impact the student's current and future goals; 3) An annual student-led parent and mentor conference; and 4) A data collection requirement that allows schools to monitor student progress. Professional development for staff and ongoing technical assistance will be provided to schools that implement the program. SPI will distribute grants to schools to implement student-centered planning programs. Grant selection criteria, the number of awards, and the award amount will be published by SPI and recipients informed of their award by December 2006. To the extent possible, first and second class school districts and districts from different geographic regions of state will be represented in grant allocations.   Official Text and Analysis.
