  1. ESEA Waiver Set-Aside Requirement FY 2012-2013 Children First

  2. Agenda • ESEA Flexibility Overview • Priority and Focus Schools Funding and Programmatic Requirements • Schools Comprehensive Education Plan (SCEP) • Parent Engagement Guidelines • Aligning Budget with School Improvement Activities

  3. ESEA Flexibility Overview • The existing accountability system has changed • Beginning in the 2012-13 school year there are new accountability designations • Funding and programmatic requirements have changed

  4. What Does The Identification Mean? • NYSED replaced: • Schools In Need of Improvement, Corrective Action, & Restructuring • These categories no longer apply as of June 30, 2012 • New categories and criteria: • Fewer schools selected with more focused support • Priority schools: 5% of schools Statewide • Focus schools: another 10% of schools Statewide

  5. How Were Priority and Focus Schools Identified? • Two big changes in identification process • Fewer years needed to be identified • Statewide comparison more important • Priority Schools • Previous PLA implementing a SIG OR • Three years of graduation rates below 60% OR • Bottom 5% statewide for combined ELA/Math Performance Index for the All Students Group • Focus Schools • bottom 5% on the NYSED Performance Index and/or graduation rate for the performance of at least one accountability group and not making progress, OR • had the highest number of non-proficient results in ELA or math or non-graduate results or the highest percentages of such results within a district, OR • were low-performing in the district or borough according to the NYSED Performance Index and/or graduation rate and the 2010-11 NYC Progress Report.

  6. NYCDOE Resources • DOE overview and webinars about the New York State approved ESEA flexibility request are available below: • Review our ESEA Flexibility Waiver Request  one page document for an overview of the NYSED request. • Educator Guide to State Accountability • School FAQ • ESEA Waiver Approval Training PPT - August 2012 - • ESEA Webinars • ESEA Overview Part I - 6/21/2012 • ESEA Overview Part II - 6/21/2012 • ESEA Overview Part III - 6/21/2012

  7. Priority and Focus Schools’ Funding and Program Requirements

  8. Overall Key Changes for Priority and Focus Schools • Funding • Federal funding set-aside requirements have changed under the waiver; schools will receive an updated School Allocation Memo reflecting these changes • Supplemental Educational Services (SES) • No longer required under the waiver • No federal funding • 3. School Comprehensive Education Plan (SCEP) • Identified schools will construct a School Comprehensive Education Plan (SCEP) that addresses all of the tenets outlined in the Diagnostic Tool for School and District Effectiveness

  9. Public School Choice • NYC will continue to offer Public School Choice for students attending either Title I, Priority or Focus Schools

  10. Supplemental Educational Services • NYCDOE will no longerprovide Supplemental Education Services (SES)

  11. Expanded Learning Time (ELT) • While schools should continue to provide focused supports for struggling students, the waiver gives schools more flexibility in funding those supports • Schools that choose to provide tutoring programs can select from an array of contracted vendors • Schools that choose to provide these services must pay with their own funding • To use ELT vendor services, schools will need to go through the MTAC process (http://schools.nyc.gov/NR/rdonlyres/F8B42A39-55A1-41EA-8787-621556CCCFD3/98026/MTACforWebinar.pdf   ) • Schools may also implement their own after school, Saturday or other programs when schools are not in regular session • For further information: http://schools.nyc.gov/RulesPolicies/NCLB/default.htm

  12. Changes To The Set-Aside Requirement • Schools no longer have to set aside 5% of funds for High Qualified Teachers (HQT) and 10% of funds for professional development • Although the set asides are no longer required, schools must demonstrate that they have met Title I mandates of HQT and professional development • Beginning in the 2012-13 school year, identified schools will be required to set aside specific funds for state-approved programs and services as well as parent involvement and engagement activities: • 1% set-aside for parent involvement and 1% set-aside for parent engagement • Equivalent of 5% - 15% of Title I and II to support Allowable Activities for Improvement

  13. Conceptual Consolidation • Allocation Category Title I Priority and Focus School Wide Program (SWP) is eligible to be included in the pool of conceptually consolidated Federal, State and Local funds • Schools must ensure that they meet the intent and purpose of the Title I Priority and Focus School allocation • The intent and purpose of this allocation need to be detailed in the SCEP and Galaxy Table of Organization (TO)

  14. Parent Involvement vs. Parent Engagement

  15. Title I Parent Involvement Guidance • Title I, Part A, Section 1118 requires the involvement of Title I parents in the review, planning and improvement of the school’s plan for improving student achievement including the joint development and agreement upon the parent involvement policy and is still applicable. • Under Chancellor’s Regulation A-655, School Leadership Teams (SLTs) are responsible for facilitating this ongoing consultation process with Title I parent representatives regarding the school’s Title I program. • The Department has developed resources for schools to help meet these ongoing parent involvement requirements which are available at http://intranet.nycboe.net/DOEPortal/Principals/SchoolSupport/SchoolOperations/default.htm

  16. Parent Involvement Policy (PIP) • The Title I parent involvement policy must include parent activities that align in support of student achievement goals in the SCEP • These activities must be agreed upon by the school and Title I parent representatives and are funded using the school’s set-aside for parent involvement (a minimum of 1%) • All Title I schools, including Priority and Focused schools must have a Parent Involvement Policy • The PIP will be included in the SCEP template

  17. Use of the Parent Engagement 1% Set-Aside • Priority and Focus schools have been allotted an additional 1% set-aside for parent engagement • These funds should be used to provide activities that will build and enhance meaningful partnerships between the school and families that support student achievement • These activities should align closely with the “Partnership Standards for Schools and Families” recently adopted by the Department with a focus on: • Fostering Communication • Encouraging Parent Involvement • Creating Welcoming Schools • Partnering for Student Success • Collaborating Effectively

  18. School Comprehensive Education Plan(SCEP)

  19. The SCEP • All Priority and Focused schools must complete the School Comprehensive Education Plan (SCEP) • The SCEP assists schools to: • Develop comprehensive improvement plans that detail how the school plans to improve instruction. • Delineate their plans for annually increasing student performance through comprehensive instructional programs and services • Enhance their plans for teacher and leader effectiveness • Addresses the tenets outlined in the Diagnostic Tool for School and District Effectiveness (DTSDE) • ***The SCEP template with guidance is forthcoming***

  20. The Six Tenets of the SCEP • Priority and Focus schools will have to address five of the Six Tenets of the Diagnostic Tool for School and District Effectiveness (DTSDE): • Tenet 1-District Leadership and Capacity (This will be addressed by Central in the DCIP) • Tenet 2: School Leadership Practices and Decisions • Tenet 3: Curriculum Development and Support • Tenet 4: Teacher Practices and Decisions • Tenet 5: Student Social and Emotional Developmental Health • Tenet 6: Family and Community Engagement • Schools will develop a goal and action plan for each of the these tenets
