54% of schools in Indiana did not meet AYP this year. AYP = Annual Yearly Progress. That's bad news for teachers coming back to school in a few weeks. These schools will face improvement plans, rigid supervision and punishing sanctions. Union leader guy at the meeting yesterday
shared these facts about our schools. 3/4 of those failing to meet AYP did not make it because kids in their buildings who receive special education services did not pass the ISTEP test. The other fourth receive free or reduced lunch services. So most of the kids who get free lunches in Indiana are
passing ISTEP, and that's nice to know. The union is funding a lawsuit to get more funding for students who qualify for these services, since the NCLB mandate has been underfunded in our state. Good job to our union. I'll keep you
posted. Maybe we'll be getting additional resources here in the Hoosier state.
