Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

In a multi-year identification cycle, using the system of annual meaningful differentiation, the department shall designate cohorts of schools in the following categories: comprehensive support and improvement (CSI), and more rigorous interventions (MRI). For each CSI and MRI school, an LEA shall submit to the department a school improvement plan. The school improvement plan shall follow department guidance and be submitted in a format and on a due date specified by the department. Improvement plans shall include but not be limited to a description of how the LEA will monitor improvement, an assurance that funds will not be supplanted, and a description of a rigorous review process to recruit, screen, select, and evaluate any external partners for school improvement.

A. CSI school identification. A school shall be identified as a CSI school if the school:

(1) is a Title I school that has not improved sufficiently to exit ATSI status in the previous identification cycle;

(2) is a Title I school that has a school index score below the support threshold; or

(3) has a four-year graduation rate less than or equal to sixty-six and two-thirds percent for two of the most recent three years;

B. CSI school exit criteria. A CSI school may exit CSI status in the next identification cycle by attaining the following improvements:

(1) Title I schools identified as CSI schools due to insufficient priority group scores may exit CSI status when all the school's priority group index scores exceed the support threshold.

(2) Title I schools with school index scores previously below the support threshold may exit CSI status by raising the school index score above the support threshold.

(3) High schools identified due to low graduation rates may exit CSI status by increasing the four-year graduation rate above sixty-six and two-thirds percent for two of the previous three years.

C. MRI school identification. A school shall be identified as an MRI school if by the end of an identification cycle it has not demonstrated sufficient improvement to exit CSI status as described in Subsection B of this section.

D. MRI school plans. The LEA shall submit to the department an MRI school intervention plan to significantly restructure and redesign the school. Interventions for restructure and redesign shall be evidence-based and include significant restructure and redesign through:

(1) implementation of evidence-based strategies;

(2) restart; or

(3) school closure.

E. MRI plan approval. If an LEA does not identify and obtain department approval for a school's intervention plan, the department will select the intervention for the school. The department may approve or deny any MRI plan chosen and developed by an LEA. The department may monitor and require execution of the approved MRI plan for the duration of the identification cycle.

F. MRI exit criteria. An MRI school shall exit MRI status in the next identification cycle upon attaining improvements defined in Subsection B of this section for CSI school exit criteria.
