Year 3: Purpose of Corrective Action When a school is identified for Corrective Action, this means that: The school has not made AYP for 4 years Increased District support to the school is needed More intensive work is needed to make its AYP

Implementation of Corrective Action Create a District/School Liaison Team (DSLT) With DSLT, complete Year 3 Corrective Action Protocol Incorporate Corrective Action(s) in the SSP to ensure alignment with District/School needs Amend District plan & budget to reflect changes to support school

Corrective Action Options Option 1: Replace the school staff who are relevant to the failure to make AYP Option 2: Institute & fully implement a new curriculum, including providing appropriate professional development for all relevant staff Option 3: Significantly decrease management authority at the school level

Corrective Action Options (cont) Option 4: Appoint an outside expert to advise the school on its progress toward making AYP, based on its revised school plan Option 5: Extend the school year or school day for the school Option 6: Restructure the internal organizational structure of the school
