15. AMOs (Annual Measurable Objectives) *New under ESEA Flexibility Waiver
The ESEA waiver specified AMO targets will be used for reporting. These targets are:
(1) based on data and
(2) identified for each federally reported subgroup.
Per the flexibility waiver, the AMO targets were set with the goal of reducing the percentage of non-proficient students by one-half within six years.
Annual Measureable Objectives (AMO) replaced the Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) targets and eliminate school improvement designations for Title I schools.
The change from AYP targets to Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) acknowledges that subgroups have different starting points and thus need different targets.  Overall, there are thirteen specific areas of flexibility included in the waiver. All schools are measured according to AMO.

16. AMO...measures the progress of student groups
Definition of AMOs
Annual Measureable Objectives (AMOs) is defined as a series of performance targets that states, school districts, and specific subgroups within their schools must achieve each year to meet the requirements of ESEA. In each public school and Local Education Agency(LEA) in North Carolina, the eleven student subgroups are:
1. School as a whole (all students);
2. American Indian;
3. Asian;
4. Black;
