NCLB Program ImprovementStatus Report for Chipman Middle School Presentation to the Board of Education October 28, 2008
Federal Accountability NCLB Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) • Program Improvement is determined by not meeting AYP two consecutive years in ELA and/or Math or the same indicator like API school wide or with any subgroup. • Meeting AYP is determined using 4 indicators: • Percent proficient or above in English Language Arts and Mathematics – Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) • Participation Rate • API (CSTs, CAPA, and CAHSEE) • Graduation rate-only for high schools
Identified Program Improvement Schools in California • As of 2008-09: • 6,020 Title I Schools in California • 2,241 schools are in Program Improvement (37.2% of Title I schools) • 322 in Year 1 • 366 in Year 2 • 387 in Year 3 • 261 in Year 4 • 905 in Year 5 and beyond • To exit PI, school must meet AYP two years in a row
Chipman Middle School Program Improvement (PI) Year 3 • Of the 4 areas, Chipman did not meet AYP two years in a row in the same content areas of ELA and Math • AMO-ELA for African American students • AMO-Math for African American students
Program Improvement Requirements Year 3 • Select and implement one or more Corrective Actions • Parent notification of the option of school choice to a non-program improvement school • District will provide transportation costs • Parent notification of supplemental educational services (SES) by state approved tutorial services • Set aside Title I funds (up to 20% of total allocation) for choice, SES, & transportation costs • Revise single school plan to NCLB requirements
Collaborative work to meet requirements: School Choice • Parents can select choice option to another non-program improvement school • Parent notification sent before school began for school choice • Wood Middle School was determined to be in the best situation to accept new students • As of October 12th, 6 students selected the choice option • As required, the choice option is a part of the enrollment packet, so new students will have choice • Year 1 & 2 choice requests totaled 11 students
Collaborative Work to Meet the Requirements: Supplemental Educational Services (SES) • Met with state approved SES providers; of the 55 approved providers, 20 signed a contract with AUSD • SES parent letter & brochure have been finalized, translated, & sent home • Eligibility for SES is prioritized based on first, non proficient achievement, then low income • Each student would receive up to $925 worth of SES, which equates to approximately 16 one hour sessions • Offer services end of November through April 17th. • Last year we served 30 students in SES.
Year 3: Purpose of Corrective Action When a school is identified for Corrective Action, this means that: • The school has not made AYP for 4 years • Increased District support to the school is needed • More intensive work is needed to make its AYP
Implementation of Corrective Action • Create a District/School Liaison Team (DSLT) • With DSLT, complete Year 3 Corrective Action Protocol • Incorporate Corrective Action(s) in the SSP to ensure alignment with District/School needs • Amend District plan & budget to reflect changes to support school
Corrective Action Options • Option 1: Replace the school staff who are relevant to the failure to make AYP • Option 2: Institute & fully implement a new curriculum, including providing appropriate professional development for all relevant staff • Option 3: Significantly decrease management authority at the school level
Corrective Action Options (con’t) • Option 4: Appoint an outside expert to advise the school on its progress toward making AYP, based on its revised school plan • Option 5: Extend the school year or school day for the school • Option 6: Restructure the internal organizational structure of the school
Collaborative work to meet Year 3 requirements… • DSLT consists of School Site Council and Director of Curriculum & Director of ELD/Categorical Programs • Implementation of California Department of Education’s recommended protocol to select corrective action option(s)
