The waiver request was granted conditionally by Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education on September 30, 2013.

APPENDIX G Additional NCLB Requirements

Parent Notice By the date required by the Texas Education Agency, all parents will be informed of individual student academic assessment results and AYP status via letters sent home in both English and Spanish. Assistance to families seeking choice and/or SES options will be provided. Student assessment results will be shared with parents in both English and Spanish whenever possible. Support This Campus Improvement Plan was developed collaboratively with Campus Advisory Council members and central office support. The district is committed to providing the campus support in school improvement efforts. Support includes but is not limited to: Guidance, Leadership, and Monitoring Associate Superintendent Compliance and Fiscal Monitoring as per Section 1120A Departments of State and Federal Accountability and Finance Data Analysis Campus and District Accountability Curriculum and Benchmark Data, Professional Development Department of Curriculum Professional Development and Support in Determining Student Needs Department of Special Education and Bilingual Education Dropout Recovery School Community Liaisons Parental Involvement Planning and Training Opportunities Family Resource Center TEA, through the School Improvement Resource Center, provides technical assistance in the areas of needs assessment, scientifically based research, and best practices. The technical assistance provider (TAP), approved by SIRC, will support the principal in improvement efforts. As evidenced throughout this plan, the campus, in working with central office support, is implementing policies and practices that have the greatest likelihood of ensuring that all groups of students will meet proficiency levels of achievement as set by the state by no later than 2013-2014. Programs and practices are based on current scientifically based research. Enhancing rigor and relevance in [specify subject(s) missed in AYP] especially for [specify the student group(s) that missed the standards] is critical since performance was not within NCLB standards. Also, the participation rates and/or attendance rate, or graduation rate was/were below standard so it will be essential to focus on this/these area/areas as well. Evaluation and Outcomes The ultimate goal for this plan is to significantly improve student achievement for all students, including those served in special programs. The principal, CAC, and campus staff will monitor action plans and strategies on a regular basis to determine the level of implementation and the effectiveness in bringing about desired student outcomes. These outcomes target closing any disparity in achievement levels among student groups. Strategies, if successful, will create a positive learning environment in which all students are actively engaged in a challenging meaningful curriculum, based on TEKS and Principles of Learning. Specific evaluation measures and performance targets are included in the Long-Range Matrix for Student Achievement and in the Action Plan.


APPENDIX H Pregnancy Related Services

Pregnancy Related Services (PRS) are a combination of Support Services and Compensatory Education Home Instruction (CEHI). These services are available to a pregnant student during pregnancy prenatal and postpartum periods to help her adjust academically, mentally and physically and to remain in school. Support Services are provided during the prenatal period of pregnancy and while the student is still attending school, as well as during the prenatal or postpartum period while the student is at home or hospital for a valid medical necessity or recovering from delivery and being served with PRS CEHI. Examples of Support Services the student may access are counseling, health services provided by school nurse, case management and service coordination. Compensatory Education Home Instruction (CEHI) is academic instruction offered to the student in the home or hospital. The number of hours per week of instruction by a certified teacher varies according to student needs and attendance is reported according to TEA formula. This service is provided under different circumstances: 1) Prenatal Confinement. If the student cannot attend school on campus due to a valid medical necessity documented by a nurse practitioner or

licensed physician licensed to practice in the United States. A medical release must be obtained by the medical or nurse practitioner to return to campus for any reason, including to take standardized tests. There is no limit to the number of events or the length of each event.

2) Postpartum Confinement. A student who has delivered a live, aborted, or stillborn baby, suffered a miscarriage or death of a newborn, or placed a baby up for adoption can be served, beginning the day of or the day after delivery for up to six consecutive weeks at home or hospital.

3) Extended Postpartum Confinement. Four additional weeks of CEHI may be provided a student when a valid medical necessity of the mother or child exists as documented by a licensed physician licensed to practice in the United States.

4) Break-In-Service Confinement. This service is for a maximum of ten weeks in length, divided into two periods in instances when the infant

remains hospitalized after delivery. The student may return to school while the infant is hospitalized, then return to CEHI when the infant is home. When the student returns to school between the two CEHI periods, the student will not be coded PRS. A medical release will be required for the student to return to campus.

At the district level, compensatory education funds are used to fund teacher units for the Pregnancy Related Services program.
