Maryland Turnaround Principles Model (DRAFT)
New Priority Schools for 2016-2017 Based on Maryland's Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Flexibility Plan, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) identified Priority Schools as Title I schools performing among the lowest five percent of Title I schools in the State and Title I high schools with a graduation rate below 60%. Maryland's ESEA Flexibility Plan was initially approved for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years. The data used for the identification of the initial list of Priority Schools was from 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school years. The implementation of a new State assessment and the accountability waiver from the United States Department of Education (USED) prevented schools from exiting Priority identification. Given that Priority Schools were to be identified every three years and given that the data was not recent or based on the new State assessments, Maryland elected to identify a new list of Priority Schools for the 2016-2017school year.
Support for Priority Schools Local education agencies (LEAs) with Priority Schools must develop school intervention plans to improve each of their low performing Priority Schools. The plans must address the components of the Maryland Turnaround Principles Model including strong leadership, effective teachers, additional time for student learning, strengthening the instructional programs including multi-tiered system of support, use of data for continuous improvement, a safe school environment, and family and community engagement. MSDE expects the LEAs with Priority Schools to use its Priority School reservation funds (up to 20% of its total Title I, Part A allocation) to implement evidenced-based intervention strategies to sufficiently address the prioritized needs of its Priority Schools and students identified in their needs assessments. Additionally, Title I 1003(a) school improvement funds may be available to support Priority Schools.
Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) Breakthrough Center Maryland State Department of Education's Breakthrough Center is an exceptional feature of MSDE's efforts to support Title I low-performing schools. The Breakthrough Center focuses on the use of cross-functionality in providing support, which includes a focus on Math and English Language Arts instruction, Leadership development, and Student Support structures. These services will be negotiated between MSDE and the LEA with a strong collaborative commitment.
Maryland State Department of Education Oversight Maryland is committed to the continuous improvement of the state's low performing Priority Schools. MSDE will work collaboratively with each LEA in support of their Priority Schools through participating in the monthly Central Support Team meetings and Turnaround Executive Support Team meetings (three times a year). The LEA's Central Support Team (CST) and the Turnaround Executive Support Team (TEST) will demonstrate the strong commitment and capacity of the LEA to implement fully and effectively the evidenced based intervention strategies in each Priority School plan. MSDE will also conduct programmatic and fiscal onsite monitoring and/or desk monitoring of the LEA and Priority Schools.
