  1. SANDBURG MIDDLE SCHOOL Report on Program Improvement Year 1 Parent Information Night Thanks for being here! February 13, 2014 Scott Bell, Principal

  2. School Accountability Systems • State Accountability Requirements (Public Schools Accountability Act of 1999) • Academic Performance Index (API) • Federal Accountability Requirements (No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001) • Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

  3. Which Assessments are Used for AYP? Participation rate and percent proficient calculations based on: • Elementary and Middle Schools • CSTs • CAPA • CMA • High Schools (grade 10 only) • CAHSEE • CAPA

  4. California Standards Test (CST) • Annual tests taken in April/May • Sandburg subgroups: • School Wide • Hispanic • White • Socioeconomic Status (SES) • Student with Disabilities (SWD)

  5. Special Populations

  6. Federal Accountability • All Federally funded Title I schools that do not make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) are identified for Program Improvement (PI) under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

  7. Identification of Schools for Program Improvement • NCLB Requirement~Entering PI • Schools enter PI when they fail to make AYP for 2 years (in all subgroups) • NCLB Requirement~Exiting PI • Schools exit PI status when they make AYP for 2 consecutive years following PI identification

  8. Annual Measurable Objectives

  9. Safe Harbor An alternate method of making the AMOs without meeting the established statewide targets if an LEA, school, or subgroup shows significant growth over the prior year

  10. Safe Harbor-Simple Example Step 1: 2012 Proficient = 30% Below Proficient = 70% Step 2: Safe Harbor Goal 10% of 70% = 7.0 30% + 7.0% = 37.0% Step 3: 2013 Proficient = 38.1% Below Proficient = 61.9% School makes AYP via safe harbor because 38.1% is greater than 37.0%

  22. What Do We Have To Do?

  23. District Program Improvement Requirements: Needs AssessmentEssential Program Components (EPCs)

  24. Need for a Collaborative Culture A collaborative culture refers to sharing expertise and perspectives, examining data and developing a sense of mutual support and shared responsibility. Developing Collaborative Groups Garmston & Wellman, 2009

  25. District’s Vision Our vision for the Glendora Unified School District is to provide an exemplary and balanced educational program for all students to successfully prepare them to become responsible citizens and continuous learners.

  26. Parental Notification • Notify parents of school’s PI status promptly after PI identification (and every year thereafter)

  27. Set Aside Funds for Professional Development • Set aside 10% of the School’s Title I allocation for PD • If there are PI schools, the school’s 10% Title I set-aside for PD can be counted towards the LEA’s 10% set-aside

  28. Public School Choice Transfer •Offer public school choice transfers starting the first year of Program Improvement (PI). •Transfer option continues through all years of PI status.

  29. School Choice • Parents of students in Title I schools that are in Program Improvement, will have the choice to transfer to another public school that is not in Program Improvement. • Transportation is paid for using a bus pass for those students who qualify. • Of course, you also have the “preferred” option to stay at Sandburg.

  30. Eligibility •All students in Title I PI schools are eligible to participate in public school choice transfers. •If demand exceeds funding, priority goes to the lowest achieving, low-income students.

  31. Receiving Schools • May not be a PI school. • Can be another public school, including a public charter school, within the LEA, or in a non-PI school in another LEA by arrangement if there is no transfer option within the district.

  32. Length of Transfer •Until the transfer student has completed the highest grade in the receiving school or •Until school of origin is no longer identified for PI •A transfer student may remain at the transfer school if the school of origin exits PI. However, the LEA does not have to pay for transportation after PI exit

  33. Exiting from Program Improvement • A district must make district level AYP for two consecutive years in all numerically significant student groups. • At this time all PI schools remain in current status until further notice due to changes with state assessment transitioning to SMARTER Balanced.

  34. Impact of California’s AB 484 on 2014 AYP • Elementary and Middle Schools currently in Program Improvement (PI) will maintain their current status and will not be required to implement any new PI activities. No new schools will be identified for PI. • 2014 AYP determinations will be made for high schools based on the 2014 CAHSEE and CAPA ELA and mathematics results • High schools may be identified or advanced in PI based on 2014 AYP results
