Examine possible solutions for not duplicating efforts and documentation.
Begin by surveying the audience….

5. Purpose and Requirements of Title I

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was passed in December 2015 by both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The President signed the bill a few days later. It is important to understand that ESSA will change some regulations, remove some regulations, and add new regulations to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) which is already in place. However, ESSA leaves most of the current ESEA law intact.
-Schoolwide- all schools will be in the online system within the next 5-7 years.
-If working in KansaStar for CSI, your school improvement plan becomes your Title I plan, as well.
-Assurances and oversight

6. Purpose and Requirements of KESA
The systems approach gives districts the leverage to address systemic
issues by identifying the underlying
causes and then implement structures
and behaviors necessary to effect
sustainable change across the district.
On Tuesday, June 14, 2016, the Kansas State Board of Education voted to approve KESA as the new K-12 accreditation model for Kansas.
