HOW DOES A DISTRICT ENTER CORRECTIVE ACTION STATUS?

7

To make AYP a district or school must meet ALL of the following three requirements…

Participation Rate on State Assessment Performance Attendance/Graduation Rate

AYP CALCULATIONS & TRENDS

8

At least 95% of the students must be tested in reading and mathematics in the ALL group and for each subgroup.

If the current year’s participation rate is less than 95%, the participation rate for AYP will be considered sufficient if:

the average of the current year and the preceding year is at least 95% or

if the average of the current year and the two preceding years is at least 95%.

PARTICIPATION RATE

9

Students in the ALL group and each subgroup must have performance levels of at least 85.0% for 2011 Meeting/Exceeding standards for reading and mathematics.

For any group (including the ALL group) with less than 85.0% for 2011 Meeting/Exceeding standards, a 95% confidence interval will be applied, which may enable the group to meet AYP. Subgroups may also meet this condition through Safe Harbor provisions.

PERFORMANCE

10

For 2010, non-high schools had to achieve an attendance rate of at least 91%

For 2010, high schools had to achieve a graduation rate of at least 80%
