  6. Allocations LA 4 and Starting Points

  7. LA 4 Funding • $5,000 per student for the 6 hour instructional day • $1,125 per student for the before and after school enrichment program ($1.56 per hour)

  8. LA 4 Funding • In 2004-2005 LA 4 was funded at $35 million • 51% or $18 million was from State General Funds • 49% or $17 million was from federal TANF funds

  10. Anticipated Funding for 2005 - 2006 • Possible 39,767 “at-risk” students • Approximately 36,000 students currently being served in public school programs • Approximately 4,000 “at-risk” may be unserved • Approximately $20 million needed to serve remaining at risk* • An additional $127 million needed to serve remaining population* *Based upon $5,000 per child

  11. Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support • School-wide positive behavior support is a process that: • establishes an effective and efficient system to address behavioral issues; • utilizes proactive positive education practices that support success; • defines, teaches, and supports appropriate behavior of students and staff; and • relies on data-based decisions to target interventions and evaluate progress.

  12. Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support (cont.) • A process of introducing, modeling, and reinforcing positive behavior which develops a climate in which appropriate behavior is the norm and undesired actions are reduced. • This reduction ultimately results in an increased amount of productive, “on-task” time of instruction for individual students and an environment more conducive to learning for all. • This process also affords schools the ability to focus on children with greatest behavioral needs.

  13. Funding for PBIS Administrative Support • Small portion of existing Special Education resources • Smaller portion of Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities – Title IV funds • 8(g) grant awarded in 2004-05 • Locals use a variety of funding streams to fund. • 171 Schools in 49 LEAs are trained in PBIS and funding in a variety of ways.

  14. Coordinated School Health Programs – 8 Major Components • School Environment • Health Education • School Meals and Nutrition • Physical Education • Health Services • Counseling, Psychological, and Mental Health Services • Staff Wellness • Parent/Community Partnerships

  15. Coordinated School Health Programs • In collaboration and coordination with other state agencies, including DHH, DSS, DOJ, and DOC, the Department of Education is working to provide prevention, intervention and treatment services to students in schools. • School-based health centers are reporting that many visits involve “mental health conditions.” • Improving access to appropriate mental health services is a focus of Louisiana’s Coordinated School Health Plan, as well as the Juvenile Justice Reform Act. • DOE is playing an active role in the LA Public Mental Health Review Commission to ensure that the mental health needs of children continue to be a priority of the commission.

  16. Strategic Instruction Model (SIM) Principles • All students have equal access to learning • Education is individualized based on learning needs • Most students can successfully be included in general education classes • Students can become independent learners

  17. SIM: Yesterday and Today • University of Kansas: Began research in 1978 as the Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities • Currently called the Center for Research on Learning (CRL) • Focus on low achievers, individuals at risk for failure, and individuals with disabilities • Designs interventions to dramatically improve the performance of learners, and develops systems to ensure implementation success

  18. SIM in Louisiana • Began professional development and use of the research-based strategies in 1999-2000. • Professional development is offered regionally as well as per request by school districts throughout the state. • A cadre of individuals have become certified SIM professional developers and others continue to seek this certification. • An annual institute has been held the past three years.
