RULE:

6A-1.099811

School Improvement State System of Support for Deficient and Failing Schools

PURPOSE:

To incorporate revisions for the School Improvement State System for deficient and failing schools to provide clarity around the requirements for schools in turnaround, including documentation requirements, timing of requirements and the criteria for State Board approval of turnaround plans.

SUMMARY:

The revised rule provides expanded and clarified strategies for school improvement support, along with documentation requirements and timelines for each tier of support, while aligning the requirements of charter schools and external operators/outside entities with current practice. Additionally, it includes language to address modifications or cancellation of charter or external operator contracts when school performance fails to sufficiently improve. The rule also provides that a school closure plan will be approved only if the interventions provided to students from the closed school are tailored to address the students’ deficiencies.
