Academic Improvement and Accountability

When a school is in restructuring, the LEA must take intensive and far-reaching interventions to completely revamp the operation and governance of that

school.  Restructuring means a major reorganization of a school’s governance structure and follows the guidelines below:

·        Makes fundamental reforms, such as significant changes in the school’s staffing and governance to improve student academic achievement in the school;

·        Has substantial promise to improve student academic achievement and enable the school to make AYP as defined by the State’s accountability systems; and

·        Is consistent with the state law.

·        During Year 4, prepare plan for alternative governance of school. The LEA with the DSLT selects one of the following options: 

1.   Reopen school as a charter

2.   Replace all or most staff including principal

3.   Contract with outside entity to manage school

4.   State takeover

5.   Implement any other major restructuring of the school’s governance arrangement that makes fundamental reforms and leads to improved student achievement

BCSD has selected option 5
