  2. Analyzing Program Elements

  3. Proposal for Complete Categorical Flexibility • School districts are facing unprecedented fiscal challenges and need flexibility to use their resources as efficiently as possible. As a state we should afford school districts that are making progress in meeting student performance targets the same funding flexibility as charter schools. • This proposal would exempt eligible school districts from having to comply with the statutes and regulations governing all categorical education programs. • Criteria that will be used by CDE and the SBE to evaluate whether a school district is eligible to participate include the following pre-conditions necessary to help improve student outcomes: • The District has a plan or initiative to accelerate students’ progress to proficiency. The plan shall include measurable metrics to improve student performance, close the achievement gap and increase college entrance rates and career readiness. • The School Board has approved the plan and developed corresponding policies in support of the plan. • The District Superintendent’s evaluation is linked to student performance goals. • There is community support for the plan.

  4. Proposal for Complete Categorical Flexibility, cont’d. Measurements: • The District must demonstrate that progress is being made toward accelerating students’ progress toward proficiency on California’s academic standards over a three-year period. • The District must demonstrate it is closing the achievement gap in its federally-recognized subgroups. Evaluation: • The District must submit a report to the CDE, State Board, the Governor and the Legislature demonstrating the District is making progress toward the measurements over a three-year period. • The District must submit annual expenditure reports to the CDE. Timeline: • Begins 2009-10 and is evaluated every three years.
