School Plans for Student Achievement (School Plans)
School Plans for Student Achievement
As a condition of receiving Title I, Part A funding, a local educational agency (LEA) must ensure that each school within the LEA that operates a Schoolwide Program (SWP) develops and implements a comprehensive SWP plan, also known as the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). (California Education Code [EC] Section 64001[a]; Every Student Succeeds Act [ESSA] Section 1114[b]). The purpose of a SWP is to improve academic achievement throughout a school so that all students, particularly the lowest-achieving students, demonstrate proficiency related to the challenging State academic standards (Title 34, Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] Part 200, Section 200.25[a][1]). The improved achievement is to result from improving the entire educational program of the school (34 CFR 200.25[a][2]).
Below are the School Plans for Student Achievement for each of the schools in the Hanford Elementary School District. The school plans below are annually approved by the HESD Board of Trustees.
School Plans for Student Achievement
In addition, a school operating a SWP must:
- Annually evaluate the implementation of, and results achieved by, the SWP, using data from the State's annual assessments and other indicators of academic achievement (34 CFR 200.26[c][1]);
- Determine whether the SWP has been effective in increasing the achievement of students in meeting the State's academic standards, particularly for those students who had been furthest from achieving the standards (34 CFR 200.26[c][2]); and
- Revise the plan, as necessary, based on the results of the evaluation, to ensure continuous improvement of students in the SWP (34 CFR 200.26[c][3]).
Included with each school plan (shown in a separate link) is the Evidence-Based Title I Funded Program Evaluation. This document is a review of the implementation and effectiveness of the previous school year's plan.
