3. ESSA - School Improvement
Comprehensive Support and Improvement:
Lowest-performing 5% of Title I schools on state accountability index;
High schools with <67% graduation rates, and
Schools with underperforming subgroups that do not improve after a state-determined number of years.
Targeted Support and Improvement:
Schools with consistently underperforming subgroups, as defined by the state.

4. School Improvement NCLB Requirements Removed: SES Corrective Action
Restructuring
Parental Notification
Reconstitution
ESSA Replaces with requirement to develop a state- designed intervention system

5. Current State Intervention System
Both plans are developed and implemented under the TAIS framework
Both have a 4 piece foundation
No need to re-invent the wheel: Campuses implementing a turnaround plan will use the same Targeted Improvement Plan template (new tab). Thought about adjusting current tab, but this made the process better. Reduce duplication of efforts.

6. Initial Submissions – Improvement Required

Expectation for 1st and 2nd year IR campuses is that all 4 goals are completed, but only have to have interventions in the first 2 quarters
