  1. Understanding Performance Based Bonus Data, Calculations and Metrics October 2014

  2. Timeline for Performance Based Bonus • The funds released in Fall 2014 (FY 15) are based on the data through 12-13. • The previous years are the same business rules, with Fall 2013 (FY 14) based on data through 11-12 and Fall 2012 (FY 13) based on data through 10-11. SY 2012-2013 data SY 2010-2011 data SY 2011-2012 data 2013-2014 Fall 2013 funds (FY 14) Fall 2012 funds (FY 13) Fall 2014 funds (FY 15)

  3. Origin of Performance Based Bonus • Original concept came from Superintendent Flanagan and Governor Snyder; idea of including “bonus” funding for schools • Part of an overall package that also includes bonus funding for “best practices” that districts are incentivized to pursue

  4. Brief History • Original idea announced in April 2011 • Final bill signed July 2012 included numerous revisions • Included again in budget for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 • The funds released in Fall 2014 (FY 15) are based on the data through 2012-13.

  5. Timeline • Performance Based Bonus (PBB) funding was distributed in the October State Aid payment initially and will again be distributed in the October 2014 payments based on the new performance results • Release of list and funding for the 2013-14 school year occurred in early October 2013 • Release of list and funding for the 2014-15 school year will occur on or around October 20

  6. Guiding Principles • Develop a bonus funding metric • Base it on student growth and improvement (not purely on proficiency) • Provide ways to incentivize districts to achieve growth with their students

  7. How Do We Calculate Eligibility for the Bonus? • District-level calculation • Uses 2012-2013 assessment data • Each district is eligible for $100 per pupil • It is divided into three pieces: • $30 for mathematics in elementary/middle school • $30 for reading in elementary/middle school • $40 for all tested subjects in high school

  8. How Do We Calculate Eligibility for the Bonus? • Can earn none, some or all of the bonus • Get the per-pupil-bonus for every pupil in the district, regardless of grade • Students do not have to be in a tested grade • Does not relate to level (i.e. if you get the $30 per student based on E/MS reading, the district gets an additional $30 for ALL students enrolled)

  9. District Size Requirement • To qualify for elementary/middle school reading, a district needs at least 30 Full Academic Year (FAY) students who also have a Performance Level Change value • To qualify for high school, a district needs at least 20 Full Academic Year (FAY) students in each of the current and previous three years

  10. Implications of District Size Requirement • Some districts have enough students to be eligible for the $60 for E/MS, but not enough to be eligible for the $40 high school bonus • Some districts are too new  they don’t have enough years of data to qualify

  11. Participation Requirements • Districts must assess 95% of students on MEAP, MEAP Access, Michigan Merit Examination or MI-Access • Aligned with the 2012-2013 accountability data for this year’s calculation • Participation requirement is determined separately at the high school and elementary/middle school

  12. Elementary/Middle School • Reading and mathematics only • Uses the Performance Level Change (PLC) metric • MEAP and MI-Access (Functional Independence) • Weighted PLC formula that gives greater points for growth with students who are further behind

  13. Weighted PLC Calculations

  14. Performance Level Change • Example: A student who is Not Proficient in a previous year and becomes Partially Proficient in the current year qualifies as “Improve”

  15. How To Calculate the Bonus for Elementary/Middle Schools • Calculate weighted PLC on every student who is Full Academic Year and has a PLC value • Calculate the district-wide average of the weighted PLC for the subject • Compare to the target value (1.5) • If greater than 1.5 in reading  reading $$ • If greater than 1.5 in math  math $$

  16. How To Calculate the Bonus for High Schools • Percent of students proficient in all subjects • Defined as proficient in all valid tested subjects • Four-year slope of that value • If it is greater than the state average and positive, then they get the high school bonus

  17. Example of Data

  18. Common Concerns • Only Full Academic Year students • District level FAY • Have had the students for at least a year • It is not “growth” • PLC is our best measure of student progress • No “growth” for high school; use district-level improvement
