Accountability without Explore/Plan 2015-16
• Growth: Plan-to-ACT data lagged one year– Plan data from Fall 2014 will be reported in Fall 2016
• Still in Discussion – College Readiness at middle school (K-PREP)– Writing/Editing at high school
• When components or categories of data are unavailable, the weight or value of the missing piece is distributed across remaining pieces of the system.

703 KAR 5:240--Accountability Administrative Procedures and Guidelines
• Early Graduates Exempt from 100-Day Rule – Early Graduates will count in the school’s accountability calculations.
• Alternative School Track Back – Direct placements will go to the district accountability rather than the school. All previous rules for accountability tracking apply except for students who are directly placed in an alternative program without entering an A1 school.
OAA:DSR:js:07/22/2015

Next-Generation Learners 2015-16• Achievement – Unchanged• Gap (equally uses two calculations)
– Non-duplicated gap group percentage scoring Proficient and Distinguished in all content area tests
– Annual novice reduction targets in reading and mathematics for individual student groups (African American, Hispanic, American Indian, Limited English proficiency, students in poverty (free/reduced lunch), students with disabilities) and non-duplicated gap group; Points awarded based on percent of target met
OAA:DSR:js:07/22/2015
19
Next-Generation Learners 2015-16• Growth (equally uses two calculations)– Student growth percentile in Reading and
Mathematics– Categorical growth model sums the number of
students moving from a student performance level (NAPD) to a higher level, the number remaining at proficient and distinguished divided by total number of students
OAA:DSR:js:07/22/2015
20
Next-Generation Learners 2015-16
• Readiness – Unchanged (No Grade 8 Explore)• Graduation Rate – Adjusted Cohort
OAA:DSR:js:07/22/2015
21
703 KAR 5:225 School and District Accountability, Recognition, Support and Consequences
• Annual Measurable Objective (AMO) is calculated from the total score of the Next Generation Learner’s component only.
• Graduation Rate is increased from 60 to 80.
OAA:DSR:js:07/22/2015
22
703 KAR 5:225 School and District Accountability, Recognition, Support and Consequences (cont.)
• Focus calculation will be based on two years of data except for new and reconfigured schools. Focus calculations for new and reconfigured schools shall use one year of data.
• If a school has a Focus designation, it cannot be named a School of Distinction.
OAA:DSR:js:07/22/2015
23
703 KAR 5:225 School and District Accountability, Recognition, Support and Consequences (cont.)
• The 3rd Standard Deviation model for a Focus School is replaced with a lowest 5% model in each individual gap group by subject. (The lowest 10% calculation on the Non-Duplicated Gap Group remains in effect.)
• Schools labeled as Priority Schools have an overall score in the bottom 5% of overall scores by level for all schools that have failed to meet the AMO for the last three consecutive years.
OAA:DSR:js:07/22/2015
