2008 AYP State Summary Results(cont.)
5
2008 AYP State Summary Results(cont.)
  • Of those missing AYP, 18 (71) of districts and
    1 (12) of campuses missed AYP solely due to the
    1 and/or 2 caps in 2008. compared to 32 of
    districts and 11 of campuses in 2007.
  • A total of 482 campuses missed the Mathematics
    Performance indicator, the largest category that
    failed to Meet AYP standards.

6
2008 AYP Appeals
  • 127 school districts submitted a total of 274 AYP
    appeals
  • 94 (34) of the 274 appeal requests for either
    districts or campuses were granted.
  • Of the 78 district appeals, 8 (10) changed the
    district AYP status to Meets AYP.
  • Of the 196 campus appeals, 48 (24) changed the
    campus AYP status to Meets AYP.

7
General Considerations forAYP Appeals
  • Appeals are not a data correction opportunity.
  • Appeals are not considered for areas where a
    district/campus Met AYP or was Not Evaluated.
  • Appeals are considered for areas where AYP was
    missed, even if the result would mean the
    district/campus still misses AYP overall.
  • Appeals are considered for data relevant to the
    2008 AYP result, and are not considered for data
    reported in the prior year for Performance,
    Participation, Graduation Rate measures.

8
General Considerations for AYP Appeals (cont.)
  • Appeal of the USDE approved Texas AYP Workbook
    requirements, including the performance or
    participation indicators based on the results of
    TAKS-Modified (TAKS-M), TAKS-Alternate
    (TAKS-Alt), or TELPAS Reading were not favorable
    for appeal.
  • Appeals related to the Federal Cap, Campus
    Rankings, or to the performance results due to
    the federal caps were not considered.
  • Graduation Rate Appeals based on the State
    Accountability School Leaver Provision or the use
    of the National Center for Educational Statistics
    (NCES) dropout definition could not be considered.

9
2008 AYP Exceptions Process
  • School districts registered in the RF Tracker
    system and school districts with RDSPD that are
    included in the 2007-2008 Directory for Services
    for the Deaf in Texas were automatically applied
    an exception to the 1 cap.
  • The federal cap applied to proficient TAKS-Alt
    results was extended to include an additional
    number of students up to the statewide 1 cap
    limit.
  • The statewide 1 cap limit was sufficient to
    allow every school districts with an exception to
    include all TAKS-Alt passing students as
    proficient for AYP (in effect, remove the 1 cap).

10
2008 AYP Other Circumstance Exceptions
  • Other circumstance exceptions were allowable and
    were submitted as a regular appeal through the
    online system.
  • The approval of school district requests for
    exceptions to the federal cap is based on the
    availability of statewide slots within the cap
    that allow the state to maintain a 1 cap limit
    on proficient results from TAKS-Alt.
  • The statewide 1 cap limit was sufficient to
    allow requests for exceptions based on other
    circumstances to include all TAKS-Alt passing
    students as proficient for AYP (in effect, remove
    the 1 cap).

11
2009 AYP Preview

  • 67 in Reading/English language arts

2009 Preview AYP Federal Caps
  • The 2008 AYP Federal Cap process was implemented
    for the first time with results showing that the
    strategic process for helping campuses was very
    effective.
  • The federal accountability advisory group, Title
    I Committee of Practitioners (COP), met on
    November 18, 2008, and voted to recommend the
    continuation of the Federal Cap process in 2009,
    with no modifications.
  • A review of the federal cap process will be
    provided through a Texas Education
    Telecommunications Network (TETN) session
    accessible by ESC and school district staff in
    spring 2009.

    maximize the number of campuses that Meet AYP
    beginning with the campuses assigned the highest
    priority.

    subjects will be used to predict their
    performance in next high-stakes testing grade.
  • Students who are predicted to meet proficiency
    will be counted in the numerator of the AYP
    percent proficiency calculation along with
    students meeting the standard, and this new
    percent would be compared with the AYP targets to
    determine if the performance standard for percent
    proficient is met.
