Bureau of School Improvement
Bureau of School Improvement (BSI) Pillars
The Bureau of School Improvement (BSI) serves as a partner in supporting improved outcomes for all students through strategic problem solving, capacity building, and the implementation of sustainable systems in the areas of:
- Transformational Leadership
- Benchmarks-Aligned Planning, Instruction, and Learning

School Improvement Support
Through the School Improvement (SI) program, the Bureau of School Improvement hires and places regional teams of school improvement specialists, each led by an executive director in four offices across the state to provide on-the-ground support to district administrators, instructional coaches, and school leadership teams of low-performing schools. More information on the regions and staff contacts are available on our Staff page.
Authority for School Improvement
Section 1008.33, Florida Statutes, provides the State Board of Education with the authority to enforce public school improvement through a statewide system of support and intervention.
Rule 6A-1.099811, Florida Administrative Code, entitled “School Improvement State System of Support for Deficient and Failing Schools,” establishes differentiated intervention and support strategies for traditional public schools; delineates the responsibilities of the school, district, and Department of Education; sets timelines for intervention and support strategies, prescribes reporting requirements to review and monitor progress of schools; and sets forth submission and approval criteria for turnaround implementation plans.
