Overview

RULE:

6A-1.099811

School Improvement State System of Support for Deficient and Failing Schools

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to substantially re-write the existing rule on school improvement to incorporate legislative changes limiting   schools that are in need of intervention and support to schools graded “D” and “F,” to revise incorporated forms, and to clarify the turnaround process for failing schools.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule identifies schools for improvement each school year based upon their most recently released school grade and categorizes schools as Focus schools (those graded “D”) and as Priority schools (those graded “F”).  A subsection addressing Focus schools has been added and describes interventions or actions in year one, year two, and year three of receiving a grade of “D.”  A subsection addressing Priority schools has been added to describe interventions and exit criteria.  The turnaround options available to districts and process for planning for those options are also set out in the proposal.  Lastly, the proposed rule incorporates forms used by school districts.
