LEA Plan Addendum
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 Section 1116(c)(7)(A) requires that local educational agencies (LEAs) identified for Program Improvement (PI) shall, no later than three months after being identified, develop or revise an LEA Plan, in consultation with parents, school staff, and others. Rather than completely rewriting the district’s existing LEA Plan, the California Department of Education (CDE) requires writing a Plan Addendum to address the following items.
• Address the fundamental teaching and learning needs in the
schools of the LEA and the specific academic problems of
low-achieving students, including a determination of why the prior
LEA Plan failed to bring about increased student achievement.
• Identify actions that have the greatest likelihood of improving
the achievement of students in meeting state standards.
• Incorporate scientifically based research strategies that
strengthen the core academic program in schools served by the
LEA.
• Include specific, measurable achievement goals and targets for
all students and subgroups, addressing all elements of Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP).
• Address the professional development needs of the instructional
staff.
• Identify how technical assistance will be obtained to support
implementation of the LEA Plan revisions.
• Incorporate, as appropriate, learning activities before school,
after school, during the summer, and during an extension of the
school year.
• Include strategies to promote effective parental involvement in
the school.
• Meet all requirements specified in NCLB Section 1116 (c)(7)(A)(i)
through (viii).
The LEA Plan
Addendum for Fort Bragg Unified
