For schools below the State standard of 150 in ELA or math for the 2002-03 school year that are not required to develop school improvement plans, Section 100.2(p) requires its districts to develop local assistance plans.  

Districts must complete and obtain approval of their Local Assistance Plans by their boards of education by October 15, 2003.  The plans must be implemented immediately after board approval.

Template for Local Assistance Plans


Some districts were notified that a determination about Adequate Yearly Progress could not be made for a school based on its participation in State assessments.  In these cases, schools will be required to conduct a self-assessment.  Additional guidance will be provided shortly to districts regarding their district level accountability status and the self-assessment process.  In the meantime, questions regarding the self-assessment provisions may be directed to Mr. Ira Schwartz in the Administration, Accountability and Policy office at (718) 722-2796.
