Board hears CCRPI data for federally identified schools; district staff outline supports and timelines
Summary
District leaders presented CCRPI component scores for federally identified schools and explained how content mastery, progress, closing-the-gap and readiness scores determine CSI/ATSI/TSI status. Staff said some schools may come off certain lists based on improvement, and trustees requested a deeper CCRPI review in January.
District staff gave a mandatory presentation on federally identified schools and CCRPI results on Nov. 18, explaining why certain schools were identified and what the scores mean. Jackie Johnson summarized component scores for content mastery, progress, closing-the-gap and readiness for the subset of federally identified schools and noted that component scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale.
Key points: Johnson highlighted the highest component scores among the identified schools (examples included North Clayton content mastery 58.6; Rivers Edge readiness 80.8; Haney progress 91.9). She clarified that ‘‘content mastery’’ reflects assessment performance, ‘‘progress’’ reflects student growth compared to expectations, and ‘‘closing the gap’’ measures subgroup performance relative to targets. The next re-determination for CSI and ATSI is scheduled for January 2027; TSI reviews occur January 2026.
Trustee questions: Board members asked for plain-language explanation of what being on a list means. Dr. Delphia Young and Johnson said being federally identified signals that schools require targeted interventions due to lower performance in specified components and that the state’s process focuses on incremental improvement. Trustees pressed on the size of percentage changes that count as improvement; staff clarified that rules are based on school- and subgroup-level calculations and incremental point changes rather than a single fixed-percentage threshold.
Why it matters: Federally identified status can trigger supplemental support, targeted interventions and monitoring. Several trustees said they want a more thorough CCRPI briefing at the January board meeting to examine drivers of gains and declines and to assess intervention strategies.
Ending: Staff agreed to return in January with a deeper CCRPI presentation, including more detailed data and contextual explanation of actions underway to support identified schools.
