Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) has developed a systematic process to enable administrators and public leaders to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs. This process is designed to ensure that quality programs are implemented with consistency and fidelity, and ultimately contribute to positive student outcomes. The model helps division leaders make data-driven decisions about whether programs should continue, and if so, how to improve or expand them to meet the needs of stakeholders while ensuring fiscal responsibility.
