Districts and Schools in Need of Improvement

2004-05

NCLB requires the State Education Department to identify New York State public schools and school districts in need of improvement or corrective action based on performance during the 2003-04 school year.

All of these schools and school districts receive Title I funds and must take a variety of actions under federal rules, such as providing choice or tutoring or going through corrective action or restructuring.

The State Education Department also identifies Schools Requiring Academic Progress (SRAP).  SRAPs did not receive Title I funds during the past two years and therefore do not fall under the provisions of Title I school accountability.  However, they fall under State regulations set by the Board of Regents and must develop plans similar to those that are developed by schools that are identified as in need of improvement or in corrective action.  Schools Requiring Academic Progress are not required to offer public school choice or supplemental educational services.
