NCLB Waiver

 Under key components of the state's NCLB waiver, Texas schools will no longer be  designated as having met or made AYP.

NCLB Waiver Instead of federal designations for all schools in Texas, only the lowest performing 15 percent will be identified as Priority or Focus Schools. Those schools will be subject to a series of federally-prescribed interventions.

NCLB Waiver Additionally, Texas school districts will no longer be required to set aside 20 percent of their Title I federal dollars to provide Supplemental Educational Services (SES). A district will now be free to use those funds on academic intervention programs it deems most effective for its students.

NCLB Waiver  To request approval to implement these waivers beyond the 2013–2014 school year, Texas must submit to the Department for review and approval, by May 2, 2014, an amended request incorporating final guidelines for teacher and principal evaluation and support systems that meet the requirements of ESEA flexibility, including the use of student growth, as defined in ESEA Flexibility, as a significant factor in determining a teacher’s or principal’s summative evaluation rating.

PBMAS Staging 27

PBMAS Staging 28 TEA is busy identifying the Priority and Focus Schools (bottom 15%). Even though PBMAS staging is not out, districts know they are going to be staged if they have 4s, 3s, and a bunch of 2s, and should begin incorporating PBMAS activities into their TAIS Targeted Intervention Plan.
