Criteria for Identification/Selection Clause Samples
Criteria for Identification/Selection. By January 15, 2014, after reviewing the recommendations of the consultant(s), the District will consider whether to revise and/or expand its eligibility and selection criteria for enrollment in SGEP, Middle School Advanced Courses and High School Honors and AP Courses in order to further facilitate its efforts to provide all students with equal access and an equal opportunity to participate in such programs. In doing so, the District acknowledges that: The District has no intention of adopting any additional criteria that disproportionately exclude African-American, Hispanic or ELL students. If the District retains the criteria currently utilized for identification/selection rubrics, it will specifically consider whether a modest modification of such criteria (i.e., lowering or raising test cut-off scores or performance indicators, or slightly altering the teacher differentiation rating standards) will result in an increase of participation by African-American, Hispanic and ELL students. The District will ensure that any District/school personnel responsible for conducting any assessments or evaluations as part of the identification/selection process will receive consistent and accurate training in the implementation of any additional, revised or modified criteria; and adequate instruction on how to access information regarding students’ eligibility. The District will utilize any revised or expanded criteria adopted by the District to determine eligibility and selection for enrollment in SGEP, Middle School Advanced Courses and High School Honors and AP Courses beginning with the 2014-2015 school year. The District reserves the right to modify, reduce and/or eliminate SGEP, Middle School Advanced Courses and/or High School Honors and AP Courses, in whole or in part.
Criteria for Identification/Selection. If, after reviewing the recommendations of the consultant(s), the District decides to revise and/or expand its eligibility and selection criteria for enrollment in SGEP, Middle School Advanced Courses and High School Honors and AP Courses, by February 28, 2014, the District will provide to OCR a draft of its revised and/or expanded eligibility and selection criteria. OCR will review the revised criteria and advise the District whether OCR has any objections to the revised and/or expanded criteria. In the event that OCR has objections, the District agrees to work collaboratively in good faith with OCR to reasonably address such objections. After the District’s adoption of the revised and/or expanded criteria, if any, the District will update any relevant printed publications and on-line publications with the revised and/or expanded criteria within a prompt and reasonable timeframe, not to exceed March 15, 2014. Inserts may be used in printed publications until re-printing. Thereafter, the District will disseminate the revised and/or expanded criteria to all relevant students, their parents, administrators, teachers and staff of the District within a prompt and reasonable timeframe, not to exceed March 15, 2014; and will utilize the revised and/or expanded criteria to determine eligibility and selection for enrollment in SGEP, Middle School Advanced Courses and High School Honors and AP Courses beginning with the 2014-2015 school year. The District will provide documentation to OCR demonstrating that the revised and/or expanded criteria were disseminated as stated above.
