  14. SCHOOL LEAVER PROVISIONin 2009 • This provision will no longer apply in 2009 and may be the cause for lower district and campus ratings for: • Completion Rate I • Annual Dropout Rate (Gr. 7-8) (Standard Procedures) • Completion Rate II • Underreported students • Based on final decisions released in April 2008, this provision will apply to the Annual Dropout Rate (Gr. 7-12) indicator under AEA Procedures, but will be reviewed in spring 2009 by the advisory groups. NOTE: Districts that used the School Leaver Provision need to pay special attention to the quality of leaver data that will be submitted in fall 2008. This information will be the basis for dropout and completer indicators used in 2009 ratings.

  15. SCHOOL LEAVER PROVISION Technical Advisory Team (TAT) • Campuses that avoid being rated Academically Unacceptable in 2008 due to the application of the School Leaver Provision will be subject to technical assistance team (TAT) intervention requirements in the 2008-09 school year. • This is because campuses rated Academically Acceptable in 2008 are identified for technical assistance teams (TATs) if their 2008 accountability results do not meet the 2009 accountability standards. 

  16. 2008RATINGSCALENDAR • Thursday, July 31 (1 p.m.) - TEASE site updated with final data tables. • Friday, August 1 (10 a.m.) – Secure email sent to each ESC director with ratings lists for each district and campus in the region. • Friday, August 1 (1 p.m.) – Press Briefing and public release on TEA website. • Tuesday, August 19 – List of districts and campuses rated as AU for one or more consecutive years will be posted on the 2008 accountability ratings website. • August 15, 2008 is appeals postmark deadline. • Ratings changed due to granted appeals published in late October. • No appeals necessary for annual dropout rate, completion rate, or underreported students indicators. • 2007-08 AEIS Reports issued (TEASE) – early November
