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.
