Universal Citation: LA Admin Code LXXXIII-3301

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. For a newly formed school, the school district shall register the new school with the Louisiana Department of Education to have a site code assigned to that school. A new school shall not be created nor shall a new site code be issued in order to allow a school to avoid an accountability decision or prevent a school from entering the accountability system. Before a new school is created, the local education agency must work with the Louisiana Department of Education to explore ways the new school can be included in the accountability system.

B. When two or more schools are created from an existing school (e.g., grades 4-6 "split" from an existing K-6 structure, creating a K-3 school and a 4-6 school), the LEA must consult with the LDE prior to implementing such changes to determine how the impacted schools will retain reward and/or AUS or subgroup component failure status and any sanctions, remedies, and funds (e.g., a 3-8 school in AUS 3 should retain the AUS3 status in both schools if it is reconfigured into a 3-5 and a 6-8 school and if all grade levels contributed to its poor performance). After this consultation, the LDE shall make all decisions regarding the effects of these changes on rewards, AUS and subgroup component failure status, and sanctions for all schools effected by the changes and will notify the LEA of its decision.

C. New K-8 schools (in existing LEAs) with one year of test data shall be included in accountability. For dropout/credit accumulation data, the district average for elementary schools will be used.

D. The new high school in an existing LEA shall enter accountability using its first year of assessment data.

1. This adjusted assessment index shall be used as a first year SPS to assign letter grades.

2. The graduation index calculated from the school's first graduating class shall be included as a SPS indicator.

E. Schools that do not align with the patterns described in this Section will be included in accountability as soon as the required data is available.
