4. AMAO Improvement Plan Context
ODE determines the targets for each of the Annual Measureable Achievement Objectives (AMAO).
Districts must have a rating of MET for each of the three AMAOs each year in order to have an overall rating of MET for the Title III accountability requirements (AMAO).
If a district does not meet one or more AMAO target(s) for two consecutive years, the district is required to develop an improvement plan that addresses the factors that prevented the district from meeting the specific AMAO target(s).
The plan is to be implemented in the school year.
Districts not meeting one or more AMAO target(s) for 3 consecutive years must revise their plan and submit the revision accordingly.
If the district fails to meet one or more AMAO target(s)for four or more consecutive years the state is required to have the district.
modify its curriculum, program, and method of instruction,
or determine whether the district will continue to receive Title III funds related to the failure to meet the AMAOs,
and require the district to replace educational personnel relevant to the district’s failure to meet the objectives. [Section 3122(b)(4)]. Please refer to the required criteria above in your improvement plan if your district is in four year status.
