LAC 28:XI.909. Comprehensive Intervention Required

A. Any school that earns a “D” or “F” letter grade in the state accountability system for three consecutive years or with a cohort graduation rate of less than 67 percent in the most recent year will be labeled “comprehensive intervention required.” 1. For a turnaround school that has earned one or more T letter grades as provided for in §1105.A, the department shall determine the “A,” “B,” “C,” “D,” or “F” equivalent letter grade for the purpose of determining whether the school has earned the “comprehensive intervention required” label. 2. A new school, as defined in §3301, will be labeled “comprehensive intervention required” if it earns a “D” or “F” letter grade in both the first and second year of operation. B. Beginning in 2019-2020 (2020 SPS), a school that is labeled “urgent intervention required” for a period of three consecutive years for the same subgroup will be labeled “comprehensive intervention required.,” unless in the current year the school has improved the subgroup score for which it has earned the label, such that the school no longer has a subgroup score equivalent to a “F”. C. Schools that have fewer than 40 units may be labeled “comprehensive intervention required” based on the available data. D. To no longer be labeled as requiring comprehensive intervention, the school must earn an “A,” “B,” or “C” letter grade for two consecutive years. E. 2020-2021 CIR Label. 1. For the 2020-2021 (2021 SPS) school year only, a school that does not have the “comprehensive intervention required” label shall not receive the “comprehensive intervention required” label unless the following criteria are met: a. the school has earned a “D” or “F” letter grade for 2017-2018 (2018 SPS), 2018-2019 (2019 SPS), and 2020-2021 (2021 SPS), or for 2018-2019 (2019 SPS) and 2020-2021 (2021 SPS) for a new school, or the school earned a cohort graduation rate less than 67 percent in the most recent school year; and b. the school system has notified the LDE that it wishes to receive the label. 2. A school that has been labeled “On Track to Exit” by the LDE for the “comprehensive intervention required” label may exit the label based on 2020-2021 (2021 SPS) results.
