NewPathPlan Developers Believe • Everystudentmatters • Everyschoolmatters • Everycommunity matters
What Is the Same? • Continuefour levels of accreditation. • Continue focus on academically stressed schools. • Continue focus on early intervention. • Continue the belief that transferring children does not improve schools or school districts. • Continue the focus on building local control andempowering communities to improve their schools. • Continue the focus onevery student, every school, and every community matters.
What Is Different? • Discontinued reference to the development of an Academic Achievement District. Replace with a committee of DESE and selected representatives from the school community/district. • Changed the number of years at each level and substituted a focus on achieving annual progress on priority areas identified by the DESE review team. • Added Progressing w/in Academically Stressed category. If a school in Level 3 makes annual progress in its priority areas, it will be designated as Academically Stressed and Progressing. No additional students may transfer out of the school under this designation. • Added a more detailed list of supports for Level 3. • Add categorical which will pay the difference between amount of state aid transmitted by sending sch district and the receiving school district. • When sending sch district become provisionally accredited, transportation no longer provided to receiving school district.
