The accreditation purpose for the third grade CSAP reading comprehension assessment is to determine the effectiveness of the school district's CBLA Program. The CBLA indicator follows the same cycle as other accreditation indicators with the first cycle extending from 2000 to 2003. In accordance with H.B. 96-1139, students must be placed on ILPs at the end of kindergarten and in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade if students are not reading at grade level. Students will stay on ILPs until they are reading at grade level. However, for accreditation purposes, districts only need to track the progress of third graders on the CSAP reading comprehension assessment.
School districts accredit their own schools.
Provide the procedures for supporting cross-program coordination, planning and service delivery. Consolidate the application process and reporting materials for the seven IASA programs. Integrate fully with the expectations and school improvement efforts tied to accreditation. Eliminate state and federal requirements that do not directly contribute to student learning. Focus responsibility for administering these federal dollars at the local level by relying on a comprehensive set of assurances.
