At STAGE 2 of the OIP, leadership teams affirm the priority areas identified through use of the DF in developing a district improvement plan that has a limited number of focused goals and strategies. In Ohio, the Consolidated Comprehensive Improvement Plan (CCIP) is the automated state tool for creating district and building improvement plans. All districts in Ohio are required to submit a CCIP, which includes the district goals, strategies, and action steps for improving student performance.

The CCIP is a unified grants application that requires district personnel to work together in the development of one coherent plan that aligns and focuses the work across the district. All school-level plans must adhere to the district plan and school-level strategies and action steps must respond directly to district goals. Schools receiving Title I School Improvement funds must also create their improvement plans in the CCIP. The CCIP provides the structure, format and means for almost all district/building-level plans submitted to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), and is used by each district to create one coherent improvement plan describing how it intends to:
- Achieve the district vision and mission over the next five years;
- Address requirements and consequences prescribed by state and federal statute;
- Take advantage of flexibility provisions of Title I Schoolwide to combine resources – fiscal, personnel, and time; and
- Draw on funding from multiple state, federal, and local sources to achieve district goals.
