Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. For a newly formed school, the school
				  district shall register the new school with the Louisiana Department of
				  Education to have a site code assigned to that school. A new school shall not
				  be created nor shall a new site code be issued in order to allow a school to
				  avoid an accountability decision or prevent a school from entering the
				  accountability system. Before a new school is created, the local education
				  agency must work with the Louisiana Department of Education to explore ways the
				  new school can be included in the accountability system.
B. When two or more schools are created from
				  an existing school (e.g., grades 4-6 "split" from an existing K-6 structure,
				  creating a K-3 school and a 4-6 school), the LEA must consult with the LDE
				  prior to implementing such changes to determine how the impacted schools will
				  retain reward and/or academically unacceptable (AUS) or subgroup status and any
				  sanctions, remedies, and funds (e.g., a 3-8 school in AUS 3 should retain the
				  AUS 3 status in both schools if it is reconfigured into a 3-5 and a 6-8 school
				  and if all grade levels contributed to its poor performance). After this
				  consultation, the LDE shall make all decisions regarding the effects of these
				  changes on accountability results and sanctions for all schools effected by the
				  changes and will notify the LEA of its decision.
C. New K-8 schools (in existing LEAs) with
				  one year of test data shall be included in accountability. For dropout/credit
				  accumulation data, the district average for elementary schools will be
				  used.
D. The new high school in an
				  existing LEA shall enter accountability using its first year of assessment
				  data.
1. This adjusted assessment index shall
				  be used as a first year SPS to assign letter grades.
2. The graduation index calculated from the
				  school's first graduating class shall be included as a SPS indicator.

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Reconfigured schools are identified as
				  schools that change grade configuration, combine two schools with separate site
				  codes into one school with a single site code, or divide one school into two
				  separate schools with different site codes. Data collected at one site shall
				  not be moved to another site and included in accountability results except when
				  two or more schools with dissimilar configurations combine to create one
				  school.
B. Prior to any
				  reconfiguration, the LDE will review the changes to school sites in the planned
				  reconfiguration and will consult with the LEA on the effects that the
				  reconfiguration will have on rewards and/or academically unacceptable (AUS) or
				  subgroup performance. After this consultation, the LDE shall make all decisions
				  regarding the effects of these changes on rewards, AUS or subgroup performance,
				  and sanctions for all schools effected by the changes and will notify the LEA
				  of its decision. AUS status and eligibility for participating in any specific
				  programs shall be determined by the LDE.
