  2. Promoting Academic Success (PAS) Overview • A program to help students who have not met standard on one or more WASL assessments taken during the students’ 10th grade year in Reading, Writing, and/or Mathematics. • School districts may use the new funding to offer assistance in ways that best fit the needs of the students who have not met standard on one or more content areas of the WASL. The assistance may include, but is not limited to: summer school, Saturday classes, before- or after-school classes, skills seminars, test preparation seminars, and in-school or out-of-school tutoring.

  3. Promoting Academic Success (PAS)Class of 2008 Funding • A student unit represents each content area assessment where a student did not meet standard. (A student could potentially generate three student units.) • Student unit allocations will differ based on student assessment scores:  • “Near Miss Students” are students scoring within 1 Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), and generate 34 hours of assistance (including 14 hours teacher planning time). • “Far Miss Students”, scoring below 1 SEM, generate 94 hours of assistance (including 14 hours teacher planning time).

  4. Promoting Academic Success (PAS)Class of 2008 Funding • A student teacher ratio of 13:1 is used for funding allocation. • Districts with at least 1 student unit are allocated a floor of 20 student units. These units are all funded at 94 hours. • The 34/94-hour allocation per student unit is not a mandatory level of service. Districts need only report that a student was served for each unit of need.

  5. Promoting Academic Success (PAS)Class of 2008 Funding • Additionally, the district is allocated on each student unit: • $12.50 for maintenance, operations, and transportation; • $12.00 for pre- and post-remediation assessments; and • $17.00 for reading materials or $8.00 for writing/mathematics materials.

  6. Promoting Academic Success (PAS) Definition of Service • Service is defined as remedial assistance provided to students within a content area in which they failed to meet standard on their 10th grade WASL. • The district has the flexibility to determine the type and level of service students should receive.

  7. Promoting Academic Success (PAS) Reporting Requirements • Program/Intervention Description Report • District-level information that is accessible through EDS. • Report must be submitted for each program, for each reporting period, by content area. • Student Participation Report • Student-level report that is accessible through WAMS. • This data will be used to determine any recapture of funds.
