Changes to 31a in Current Budget Proposal

2/23/2018

0 Comments

 
The current Governor’s Budget Proposal calls for changes to the accountability portion of 31a while leaving the language of how to identify students as At Risk unchanged.  In the proposal, school accountability changes from all students identified as At Risk (“3060” in MSDS) to Economically Disadvantaged students specifically.  Additionally, accountability is proposed to be tied to the state average of proficient Economically Disadvantaged students, still at 3rd Grade (ELA), 8th Grade (Math), and 11th Grade (ELA, Math, Science).

A student is considered At Risk if ANY of the following apply:
  • Economically disadvantaged
  • English language learner
  • Chronically absent
  • Victim of child abuse or neglect
  • Pregnant teenager or teenage parent
  • Family history of school failure, incarceration, or substance abuse
  • Immigrated within the preceding 3 years
  • Did not complete high school in 4 years and is continuing
  • Did not achieve proficiency on State assessments (any)
  • At-risk to not achieve local proficiency  (ELA and Math)

The language of how to identify students as At Risk has not changed in the proposal, nor have there been significant changes to how services can be provided.  The implication is that schools and districts can still use 31a funds to provide the services that At-Risk students need regardless of how they were identified, but will be accountable to the performance of students that are identified as Economically Disadvantaged.

See pages 75 - 77 for proposed details on accountability measures and consequences for not meeting requirements.

Other proposed changes:
  • Added “early numeracy” as a required use of funds
  • More detail on English Learners
  • More detail on Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
  • More detail on Schoolwide Reforms
  • Change from 3% to 5% can be used for Professional Development
