2017-18 Board Goals

• The letter grade for the MSD of Lawrence Township

as assigned by the Indiana Department of Education will be a B or higher.

• The letter grade for each school within the MSD of

Lawrence Township as assigned by the Indiana Department of Education shall be a C or higher.

• The graduation rates for LC and LN shall be no lower

than 90%.

• The achievement gap will decrease between all ESSA

identified subgroups.

Important Considerations for 2017-18 Letter Grades

• Indiana’s ESSA Plan has now been approved by the USDE.
• Indiana’s General Diploma does not count toward the graduation rate

under current ESSA guidelines.

• The WIDA growth target is currently undetermined until the 2018 test

administration at which time growth targets for individual students will be made available.

• Academic Achievement and Progress will be measured on the ISTEP test in

grades 3-8, 10 in 2018.

• Grades 3-8 will transition to ILEARN in 2018-19.
• Grade 10 will transition to End of Course Assessments in 2018-19.
• Dr. McCormick has discussed assigning two letter grades for schools – one

with the old accountability formula; one with the ESSA accountability formula.

• There is no published letter grade formula for school districts at this time.
• The Indiana State Board of Education is accepting public input on new

formulas for School Letter grades to begin in 2018-19.

Student Achievement Benchmarks to Achieve Board Goals

• By June 1, 2018, realize a 5% increase of the 3rd grade pass rate in

both English/Language Arts and Mathematics as measured by ISTEP. (Academic Achievement)

• By June 1, 2018, realize a 10% increase in the pass rate for each

cohort as measured by ISTEP. (Academic Progress)

• By June 1, 2018, LT will exceed the national average of 1.8 point

growth in the RigorWalk assessment. (This assessment incorporates school culture as well as the pillars for rigorous teaching and learning.)

• By June 1, 2018, every English Language Learner will increase by at

least one level as determined by the WIDA assessment. (English Language Proficiency)

Leading Indicators for Student Achievement

• RigorWalk Data Reports
• Quarterly Common Assessments
• Graduation Task Force Data Reports

Key Points for Consideration of Proposal School Letter Grade Categories/Weights: 2018-19 and beyond

• Growth would be capped at 100 points in

elementary/middle school formula:

– 7 schools earned more than 100 points growth in 2017. – 2 schools would have lower letter grades for 2017. – 3 would have lower letter grades for 2016.

• The testing system for the High School (SAT/ACT)

would not be aligned with the ILEARN testing system

• f grades 3-8
• There will be an opportunity for public input prior to

a Board decision.

2016 Board Goal – Increase E/LA Proficiency

• 2016 – transition from CTB to Pearson

– Mode adjustments to scores, – Scoring process and delays called into question the validity of the results, – Different calculations for student growth.

• MSDLT Results: 1.1% decline in E/LA pass rate
• Marion County E/LA Ranking:

– 2014: 9 of 11 (old standards, MSDLT earned an A district rating) – 2015: 7 of 11 – 2016: 7 of 11 – 2017: 6 of 11
