Section 31a
If you plan to use the Our School Data to help with identifying students "eligible" for Section 31a, please see the instructions to download a file in the Feb 16 minutes. Please complete the MSDS form and you may find the Comprehensive View Report helpful (old instructions).
Shereen Tabrizi recently stated that there were no new updates for 31a, but she did emphasize the focus on MTSS in the attached Power Point (PDF) that she addressed in the email below:

We made an impact on the language in 2015! Though the concept of "at least 50% of at-risk pupils are reading by the end of grade 3" remains in the current law (see pp. 103 - 114), MDE was able to post-pone any funding consequence until 2016/17. Therefore, it is important to again mark every student who would potentially fall short of proficiency on a new, likely adaptive, M-STEP in 2016.

Written Processes have been developed by MAISD and shared for you to "Make a Copy" or Download and make your own. Main folders for these written processes fall under five categories:
Access to our previous work can be found here, this provides for the REQUIRED written processes for the OSR versus the above work that is above and beyond the requirements. There are templates that were created and a future project may be to link the MAISD written processes with the twelve required processes for the OSR.
- Title I - part A: Federal "At-Risk" funds
- Title II - part A: Professional Development
- Section 31a: State "At-Risk" funds
- LEP: Language English Proficiency
- District-Level Decision making and oversight (other required documents for OSR)

Rumor has it that the "official" Program Evaluation Tool is NOT getting any smaller. MDE/AdvancED officially released in August, 2015 that the ASSIST platform is going away, to be replaced by eProve. The plan is "to release components of the platform beginning in 2015-16" but "MDE is not planning a statewide transition to eProve before the start of 2017-18."
We will continue to advocate for the power of dialogue while evaluating programs and the reduction of questions in the P.E.T. (Program Evaluation Tool).
