Agenda • Current Landscape of ESEA and WV Accountability • School Strategic Plan • Wrap-Up and Support http: //wvde. state. wv. us/federal-programs/Application. htm

Shifts in ESEA • Federally-defined accountability to State –defined accountability systems • Responsibility for improvement focused at the district level • ESEA State and LEA plans expectation for well-rounded program of instruction as opposed to single-issue programs

Policy 2320, Section 5. 2. a • Waiver of WVBE Policy 2320, Section 5. 2. a on March 8, 2017 • Policy 2320, Section 5. 2. a. stated that beginning with the 20152016 school year, the WVAS will assign all schools a rating of A -F. A waiver was requested of the determination of grades for schools for the 2016 -2017 school year. The waiver puts West Virginia in alignment with the federal timelines of ESSA for full implementation of an accountability system in 2017 -2018. • The WVBE and WVDE will work with stakeholders to ensure multiple measures are included and the requirements of ESSA are met in the accountability system based on data from the 2017 -2018 school year.

ESEA Required Minimum Accountability • Proficiency • For elementary/ middle school • Growth or another valid academic indicator • EL percent proficient • Graduation rate for high schools • Minimum of one school quality or student success indicator

State Context • State Code Section 18 -2 E-5 authorized the WVBE to develop a system for improving schools • WVBE Policy 2320 outlines this system as -High academic standards -Assessment that measures achievement against the standards -Accountability system for schools -School improvement capacity building

LEA Plans The well-rounded program must meet the academic needs of all students by: • Meeting its responsibility to provide comprehensive school support and improvement • Providing effective parent and family engagement • Coordinating and integrating services with preschool programs • Addressing overuse of discipline practices that remove students from classrooms • Addressing transition between programmatic levels & • Addressing disparities in teacher distribution.
