(1) Under the
measurable outcomes section of the plan, a clear accounting of all resources
that will be allocated to address and achieve each measurable outcome; provided
that the accounting shall include a breakdown of costs, funding sources for those
costs, and full-time employee positions, or fractions thereof, designated to
achieve the measurable outcome;
(2) Under the educational
outcomes section of the plan, a clear description of the school's priority
improvement strategies and measures to determine progress;
(3) Student growth indicators,
which may include but not be limited to the school's National Assessment of Educational
Progress assessment scores and authentic assessment results;
(4) Information about programs
intended to address social and economic conditions that adversely impact student
learning;
(5) A breakdown of teacher
vacancy data, including:
(A) The
number of positions filled by an unlicensed teacher throughout the school year;
(B) The
number of positions not filled by a licensed teacher at any point during the school
year; and
(C) The
number of positions filled by a teacher who is working outside of their field of
educational expertise;
(6) The average class
size for all regular education, special education, and content‑based
English‑language learning classes, including any plans to reduce class
sizes; and
(7) Any other information
contained in the school's status improvement report deemed relevant for academic
and financial planning purposes, including the number of teachers with advanced
degrees, number of teachers with five or more years of teaching experience at the
school, and average number of years of teaching experience of the school's teacher
workforce.
(b) The data inputs required for student growth indicators,
teacher vacancy data, average class size, and school status and improvement report
data, under subsection (a) shall be preloaded into the academic and financial plan
template by the department, and not the individual schools' principals or complex
superintendent.
(c) The
department shall submit to the legislature and the board a report on the academic
and financial plan of each school grouped by complex area no later than twenty
days prior to the convening of each regular session.
(d) For the purposes of this section, "authentic assessment" means an evaluation of student performance that involves multiple forms of measurement other than standardized testing and that connects instructional content to real‑world problem‑solving, including but not limited to project‑based learning and problem‑based learning."
