                           STATE COMPENSATORY EDUCATION (SCE)

Policies and Procedures

YES Prep has systemwide written policies and procedures to identify the following:

    •   Students who are at risk of dropping out of school under state criteria
    •   Students who are at risk of dropping out of school under local criteria
    •   How students enter the SCE program
    •   How students are exited from the SCE program
    •   Cost of the regular education program in relation to budget allocations per student and/or
        instructional staff per student ratio

Total SCE funds allotted to White Oak: $1,054,797

The process we use to identify students at-risk is:

    •   Six-weeks documented interventions once a student is in the response to intervention (RTI)
        process.
    •   If the student does not improve after six weeks, they will be evaluated by the RTI team to identify
        other necessary interventions.
    •   Student would be identified as at-risk after the RTI team meets.

The process we use to exit students from the SCE program who no longer qualify is:

    •   The RTI team will evaluate at-risk students at the six-week point to determine if they need
        continued interventions; or
    •   Based on performance, should be exited from the SCE program.

                                                                                                   Page | 9

                                                              GOAL #1 – STAAR Domain I

  CNA Focus Areas       White Oak will achieve a 52% on Domain I (the average of 'Approaches' and above, 'Meets' and above, and 'Masters') on
                        the STAAR test.
   CNA Strengths        White Oak has a good amount of returning math instructors on campus at all grade levels. We feel confident that with the experience
                        we have students will have solid instruction in all of their math courses. We also have a low number of new instructors in the math
                        department between middle and high school.
                        Our goals as outlined above appear to be attainable and place us on the track we were on at the end of last year before we closed
                        down for Covid 19.
    CNA Needs or        ELA remains an area of significant focus for the White Oak campus. We have the most new teachers in this content in the middle
     Challenges         school. Many of the teachers are new to teaching.

     Challenges          to engage them with the College Initiatives program earlier in the middle school years. We can provide more parent education on how

   CNA Strengths        YES Prep White Oak has a well defined process for following up with the families of students that are chronically absent from class.
                        This process involves a series of phone calls from the front office staff, the student support team, and school leadership. It als involves
                        sending truancy letters to families. We will also remove credit from students who have excessive amounts of unexcused absenses.
