| LA | Signed into law 07/2003 | P-12 | Provides for the establishment of a 2-year parental involvement demonstration program in local school systems, beginning with the 2003-04 school year. Program is to be funded with available funds (if they exist) from the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program, to establish programs in Title I-recipient schools chosen by the independent review panel from all schools identified by local board as having either lower scores on latest state assessment than the year before OR less than a five point improvement in such scores for use in determining the school's performance score as part of state accountability program. Independent panel review board must choose a cross section of elementary, middle and high schools, considering both test scores and an assessment of school readiness. Requires every participating school to submit to an official comprehensive evaluation of its parental involvement program by an independant parent review board. Allows schools that succeed in meaningful parent involvement to be eligible for awards. Requires schools found to be in noncompliance to comply with provisions of this section by one year from date of official review, if no waiver has been granted by the independent parent review board. Noncompliance may result in assignment of technical support and in random monitoring by the independent parent review board. Defines purpose, criteria and duties of independent parent review board. Requires state board to select an independent parent review board from applications from qualifying organizations. States that the independent parent review board must annual evaluate the effectiveness of a participating school's parent involvement policy in improving the school's academic quality, and that the findings resulting from such evaluations are to be considered public information and may be included in the state's report card.

| MD | Rule Adoption 06/2003 | P-12 | A. Local School System Improvement.
(1) The State Board, upon the recommendation of the State Superintendent of Schools or upon its own motion, shall identify for improvement any local school system that for 2 consecutive years fails to make AYP in reading, in mathematics, or as applicable, in the attendance rate or in the graduation rate.
(2) Before identifying a local school system for improvement, the State Board shall:
(a) Provide the local school system with an opportunity to review the data on which the proposed identification is based;
(b) Give the local school system an opportunity to provide supporting evidence if the system believes that the proposed identification is in error for statistically significant reasons; and
(c) Make a final determination of the status of the local school system with respect to identification not later than 30 days after it provides the system with the opportunity to review the data on which the identification is based.
(3) The State Board shall promptly provide parents of each student enrolled in the schools served by the local school system identified for improvement notice, the results of the review, the reasons for identification of the school system for improvement, and how parents can participate in upgrading the quality of the local school system.
(4) Within 3 months of identification, the local school system shall revise applicable components of the school system master plan to:
(a) Incorporate scientifically based research strategies that strengthen the core academic program in the schools in the system;
(b) Identify actions that have the likelihood of improving student achievement to meet the State's proficiency standards;
(c) Address professional development needs of staff in schools not making AYP;
(d) Include specific measurable achievement goals and targets for each of the subgroups of students;
(e) Address the fundamental teaching and learning needs in schools and specific academic problems of low-achieving schools;
(f) Incorporate as appropriate activities before school, after school, during the summer, and during an extended school year;
(g) Specify the responsibilities of the local school system under the plan; and
(h) Include strategies to promote effective parental involvement in the school.
(5) The local school system shall implement the plan not later than the school year following the year in which the school system was identified for improvement.
(6) Technical Assistance.

(b) The Department may use an entity to provide the technical assistance.
B. Local School System Corrective Action.
(1) The State Board, upon the recommendation of the State Superintendent of Schools or upon its own motion, shall identify a local school system for corrective action if a local school system does not make AYP in reading, in mathematics, or as applicable, in the attendance rate or in the graduation rate for 2 consecutive years after identification of the school system for school improvement.
(2) Before identifying a local school system for corrective action, the State Board shall:
(a) Provide the local school system with an opportunity to review the data on which the proposed identification is based;
(b) Give the local school system an opportunity to provide supporting evidence if the system believes that the proposed identification is in error for statistically significant reasons; and
(c) Make a final determination of the status of the local school system with respect to identification not later than 30 days after it provides the system with the opportunity to review the data on which the identification is based.
(3) For a local school system identified for corrective action, the State Board and the State Superintendent of Schools shall continue to make available technical assistance and shall take at least one of the following corrective actions:
(a) Defer, reduce, or redirect State and federal programmatic and administrative funds including per pupil funding;
(b) Order the local school system to institute and fully implement a new curriculum aligned with the voluntary State curriculum that is based on State and local academic content and achievement standards, including high quality professional development based on scientifically based research;
(c) Order the local school system to replace school principals and executive officers who are relevant to the failure to make AYP with qualified personnel approved by the State Board and the State Superintendent of Schools;
(d) Remove particular schools from the direct control of the local school board and establish alternative arrangements for public governance and supervision of such schools;

(f) Through court proceeding, appoint a receiver or trustee to administer the affairs of the local school system in place of the superintendent and school board; or
(g) With legislative authorization, abolish or restructure the local school system.
(4) The State Board shall publish and disseminate to parents and the public information on any corrective action the State Board takes.
(5) The State Board may delay implementation of corrective action if a local school system makes AYP for 1 year or its failure to make AYP is due to exceptional circumstances such as acts of nature or an unforeseen decline in financial resources beyond the control of the local school system. A period of delay under this subsection may not be taken into account in determining the number of consecutive years of failure to make AYP.
(6) If a local school system makes AYP for 2 consecutive years beginning after the date of identification, the State Board shall not identify the local school system for improvement or for corrective action for the succeeding school year.
C. Hearings.

| TX | Signed into law 05/2003 | P-12 | NCLB requires any school receiving federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I, Part A funding to notify parents
regarding teachers who do not meet the NCLB Act's definition of "highly qualified." Currently, the Texas Education Code essentially duplicates
this requirement. H.B. 673 eliminates the requirement for duplicate notices. http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/tlo/textframe.cmd?LEG=78&SESS=R&CHAMBER=H&BILLTYPE=B&BILLSUFFIX=00673&VERSION=5&TYPE=B
