Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 5 CSR 30-660.080 - Performance Districts

PURPOSE: The purpose of this amendment is to establish a protocol to determine performance districts in years for which an annual performance report (APR) for school districts is not issued. The related calculation will establish a proxy for the APR, which can be used to identify performance districts for the purpose of recalculating the state adequacy target as required by statute.

(1) "Performance Districts" as defined pursuant to section 163.011, RSMo, shall be identified by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (department), and used in the foundation formula calculation for years subsequent to fiscal year 2016, using the following process:

(A) The department shall calculate an annual performance report (APR) for school districts that reflects the percentage of possible points earned based upon the accreditation standards applied by the State Board of Education (board) in the classification of schools pursuant to section 161.092(9), RSMo;

(B) No school district shall be eligible for designation unless it has earned at least ninety percent (90%) of the possible points reported in both school years immediately prior to the year in which the calculation must be made;

(C) Percentages of the two (2) prior years for districts eligible for designation will be averaged and ranked in order beginning with the highest average;

(D) Pursuant to section 163.011, RSMo, the number of designated Performance Districts will not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of Missouri schools in fiscal years subsequent to 2018; and

(E) In any year in which the department does not generate an APR, the department will utilize the most recent data available for each performance standard in order to establish an equivalent percentage of points earned for determining Performance District designation.
