1. ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS PUBLIC SCHOOL CHOICE SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICES Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) 1

2. Goals for the Day To broaden understanding of the ESEA Regulations on: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Public School Choice (PSC) Supplemental Educational Services (SES) To understand the AYP requirements that each district/school has to implement for the 2014-15 school year. 2

3. ESEA Legal Guidance Documents ESEA – No Child Left Behind (NCLB) 1116 Code of Federal Regulations – 34CFR.200 Non-Regulatory Guidance for District and School Improvement Public School Choice Supplemental Educational Services http://www.k12.wa.us/TitleI/default.aspx

4. Removal of ESEA Flexibility U.S. Secretary of Education Letter – April 24, 2014 Washington ESEA Flexibility ends with the close of the 2013-14 school year. Washington was unable to keep all of the ESEA Flexibility commitments, specifically that Washington would put into place a teacher/principal evaluation system that included student growth as a significant factor to determine performance levels. The state is required to return to meeting all NCLB requirements, starting with the 2014-15 school year. 4

5. Removal of ESEA Flexibility Districts with schools in a step of improvement will be required to set-aside 20% of their Title I, Part A funds to fund PSC and SES for eligible students. Districts in a step of improvement will be required to set-aside 10% of their Title I, Part A allocation for professional development. Schools in a step of improvement will be required to set-aside 10% of their building Title I, Part A allocation for professional development. 5

6. Removal of ESEA Flexibility Schools in improvement, corrective action, or restructuring will be required to send letters to homes that inform parents of the AYP standing of the school 14 days* before the opening of the 2014-15 school year. Districts identified in improvement or corrective action will be required to notify parents per normal AYP rules. * Waiver to United States Department of Education (ED) Newly identified in Step 1 Might move out of Steps 6

7. Proposal to ED - APPROVED Approved as of May 2, 2014 To determine AYP status Use assessment and other indicator data from 2010-11 and 2013-14. SMARTER BALANCED field test Schools data from 2010-11 and 2012-13. Spring, 2014, Priority schools (bottom 5% of Title I, Part A schools in reading and math) and Focus schools [bottom 10% of schools based on subgroup performance in reading/math (combined)]. Proficiency in reading/math (combined) for the 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012- 13 school years (using test results from Spring 2011, 2012 and 2013 exams). Provide funding and technical support to assist schools in fulfilling school improvement plans (Indistar). Continue to serve previously identified Priority and Focus schools in 2014-15. 7

8. Proposal to ED 8

9. AYP Elements  ALL students “proficient” by 2014  Separate annual proficiency goals in reading and math  1% can be proficient at district level using alternative performance standard  Same Goal on ‘state uniform bar’ for nine groups  All students  Seven Racial/Ethnic Groups  Students with Disabilities (Special Education)  Students with Limited English Proficiency (ELL)  Students from Low-Income Families (Poverty)  95% of students in each group to be assessed  One other indicator  Graduation rate (high schools): 85% (or two percentage point increase)  Unexcused absences (Grades 1-8): 1% (or any decrease) 9

10. AYP Elements If a group does not meet the proficiency goal, it makes AYP if the reduction in percent of students not meeting standard decreases by 27% and meets the other indicator (Safe Harbor) Minimum number of students (N<30) needed for a student group for statistically reliable AYP decisions Count only those students who are enrolled for a full academic year (continuous enrollment from October 1 through the entire testing period) 10
