4. AMAO Improvement Plan Context
ODE determines the targets for each of the Annual Measureable Achievement Objectives (AMAO)
Districts must meet all three AMAOs each year in order to meet the Title III accountability requirements.
If a Title III district does not meet all AMAOs for two consecutive years, it is required to develop an improvement plan that addresses the factors that prevented it from achieving all AMAOs.
Districts not rated for AMAO 3, are required to meet AMAO 1 and 2.
The plan is to be implemented in the school year.
If the district fails to meet AMAOs for four 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.
Previously, districts independently submitted their own local improvement plans without the guidance of a template.
The new ODE Office of Education Equity seeks to facilitate the improvement plan process by piloting a new AMAO Improvement Plan.

Analyze the Percent AMAO 1 to locate the percentages that have less than 61% of students making targeted improvement.
Indicate below any schools falling below 61% students showing improvement.
AMAO 2:
Even if the district met the 19% AMAO-2(a) transition target, identify specific schools needing improvement.
Analyze the Percent AMAO 2B column to locate the percentages that have less than 29% of students transitioning from ELD programs after 5 years of program services.
AMAO 3:
The percent meeting standard in OAKS reading and math are shown in the last set of AMAO columns (AMAO 3 Status).
Indicate schools not meeting AMAO 3 (AMO).
“Not Rated” indicates the entity met due to N<21 in 1 year or 42 in 2 years. Treat “Not Rated” as meeting AMAO-3.
