Detailed Fiscal Analysis
The bill changes the way adequate yearly progress (AYP) affects individual school district and building report card ratings.[1] Report card ratings do not have a direct fiscal effect on school districts, so the bill's changes will have no direct fiscal effect either. Possible indirect effects of report card ratings may include state sanctions, interventions, and services for districts with low ratings and exemptions from certain state mandates for districts with high ratings.
[1] School district and school building report card ratings are determined by four basic measurements: (1) the number of state academic standards met, (2) the performance index score, (3) whether adequate yearly progress (AYP) has been met, and (4) the value-added designation. Further explanation of the methodology involved can be found in the LSC bill analysis.
