School Improvement

Implementation and Maintaining

Every State accountability system defines sanctions and rewards for schools that are specifically tied to their performance relative to annual academic proficiency targets for all students. State Education Agencies and Local Education Agencies are required to intervene in schools that persistently do not meet these targets.

In Ohio, a school that does not make Adequate Yearly Progress for two consecutive years must be identified for school improvement.

Identifying a school for improvement serves as a formal acknowledgement that the school is not meeting the challenge of successfully teaching all of its students. When a school is identified for improvement, the local school district must provide the following information to the parents of each child enrolled in that school:

     • An explanation of what School Improvement means and how this school academically                                   compares to other schools in the district;
     • The reason for the school being identified for improvement;
     • An explanation of how parents can become involved in addressing the academic issues;
     • An explanation of the parents’ option to transfer their child to another school in the district; and
     • A plan for what the school and district will do to address the problem.

A required three-year plan that addresses the academic issues must be developed and implemented no later than three months after the school has been identified for improvement. The purpose of this plan is to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the school.

A school improvement plan must:
     • Incorporate research-based strategies
     • Address all groups of students
     • Set measurable objectives
     • Ensure notification to parents
     • Include strategies for effective parental involvement

In order for a school to no longer be identified for school improvement, it must meet the targets for Adequate Yearly Progress during the identified school year as well as the next school year.

Centerville City Schools has one school identified for School Improvement-Normandy Elementary.
