| LA | Adopted 12/2012 | P-12 | Reflects new policy as a result of the ESEA flexibility request approved for implementation by the U.S. Department of Education. For K-8 schools, the school performance score will consist of an assessment index (95%) and a dropout/credit accumulation index (5%). For schools with a grade 12, a 25% weight will be given to each of four indices: (1) end-of-course tests, LAA 1, LAA 2 (grades 9-12); (2) grade 11 ACT scores; (3) grade 12 graduation index; and (4) grade 12 graduation rate. Provides exceptions for schools serving grades 9-11 but not 12. Provides bonus points earned from growth calculated for the non-proficient student subgroup (i.e., super subgroup) on LEAP and iLEAP scores for schools without a grade 11, and EXPLORE, PLAN and ACT scores for schools with grades 9-11. Repeals §§ 302 ("9-12 Transition from 2010 to 2012"), 303 ("Calculating the SPS Component"), and 307 ("Incentive Points).
Amends §405, "Calculating a K-8 Assessment Index" and §409, "Calculating a 9-12 Assessment Index." §409 identifies ACT composite scores to be used in the calculation of an ACT assessment index, wiht 0 index points to be awarded for an ACT composite of 0-17, and up to 150.4 points for an ACT composite score of 36. Repeals §411, "Attendance Index Calculations." Amends §413, "Dropout/Credit Accumulation Index Calculations" setting a scale of index points to be awarded for Carnegie unit accumulations (8th graders who have accumulated 3 or fewer units or are 3rd year 8th grade students, or who have dropped out earn 0 points; 150 points earned for a 9th grader who has earned at least 6 Carnegie units).
Amends §515, "State Assessments and Accountability," which clarifies that students in grades 9-11 will participate in at least one of enumerated state assessments on an annual basis, including end-of-course as applicable, EXPLORE in grade 9, PLAN in grade 10, ACT in grade 11; provides exceptions. Amends §517 to provide that a student enrolled in an LEA on October 1 must be included in that school's performance score, even if the student is enrolled in a different school in the LEA than s/he was enrolled in on October 1. Modifies methodology in §519 for determining inclusion of K-8 and high schools in testing and graduation index provisions, as well as §521, "Pairing/Sharing of Schools with Insufficient Test Data." Repeals §523, "Growth Targets."
Amends various provisions in Chapter 6, "Graduation Cohort, Index, and Rate," includign that a student who graduates high school in fewer than 4 years will be included in the cohort in which s/he started 9th grade. Amends §611, which describes the exit codes, descriptions and required documentation for a student to be assigned an exit code in the graduation index. Amends §613, "Calculating a Graduation Index." §613 provides 100 points for a regular high school graduate, 75 points for a GED completer or 5th year high school diploma completer, and points over 100 for a student who meet specified criteria.
Amends various provisions in "Chapter 7. Subgroup Component," on assigning students to subgroups for accountability purposes, safe harbor, and means by which schools can fail the subgroup component.

| CT | Signed into law 05/2012 | P-12 | (Sec. 18) Revamps the education accountability law post-NCLB (renamed as the performance management and support plan), regarding identifying school districts in need of improvement and creates new categories of schools based on student performance on statewide mastery tests in order to take action to improve academic achievement. In order to separate the schools into five categories, the bill creates a school performance index (SPI) ranking system. Requires the SDE to 1) continue to identify districts in need of improvement; 2) classify schools in five performance categories with category one representing the highest and category five the lowest based on SPI and other factors; and 3) designate as focus schools those with identifiable low-performing student subgroups using measures of student academic achievement and growth for subgroups in the aggregate or over time. Allows the SDE to impose certain requirements on category three schools and to intensively supervise and direct category four and five schools with specified actions. The bill also modifies the law regarding reconstitution of boards of education in low-performing school districts, including establishing a method of notifying local officials of the start and conclusion of reconstitutions. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2012/ACT/PA/2012PA-00116-R00SB-00458-PA.htm

| NM | Adopted 05/2012 | pre-K-12 | Amends rule 6.19.8 NMAC 'Grading of Public Schools,' which was adopted on December 15, 2011 and implemented the 'A-B-C-D-F Schools Rating Act.' Defines "Supplemental accountability model" or "SAM" as any schools that qualify for a modified accountability calculation. Modifies measures used to calculate grades. For example, to be eligible as a SAM school, the school must serve a student population where 10% or more of the students are 19 years of age or older, or where 20% or more of the non-gifted students qualify for special educational services. Additionally the school, when established, must have the primary mission to address the needs of students who are at risk of educational failure as indicated by poor grades, truancy, disruptive behavior, eligibility for special education services, or other factors associated with temporary or permanent withdrawal from school. Adds PLAN, accuplacer, international baccalaureate or IB to indicators used for determining college readiness (i.e., ACT, PSAT, dual credit, SAT, or AP scores) or career readiness (i.e., pre-apprenticeship programs, and cooperative education programs). In calculating graduation rates for school grades, schools that do not have members of any cohort are exempted from the graduation component of school grading for that year; the exempted school's overall grade will be comprised of the remaining grading components and its overall points will be adjusted to the standardized scale. Makes other amendments.
