State Compensatory Education Handbook
Students who failed a STAAR/EOC test in 2021-2022 must pass the assessment in 2022-2023 at 110% scale score in order to be taken off the at-risk list.
An On-Data Suite list will be sent to your campus with students not meeting 110% in September.
Counselors will be responsible for coding students according to the spreadsheet.
If you want help with this or an opportunity to work uninterrupted:
Tuesday, October 3, 2023 from 9-12:00 pm - Elementary/Secondary Meeting (at-risk coding ) - Warrior Room
After students have been coded, upload your list in the shared Google Folder for Counselors: 2023-2024 At-risk folder in Shared Drives
Forms can be given to teachers with list of at-risk students for a certain grade level. Coding is important and when multiple people are collaborating, this increases the chance of it being accurate.
Teachers should do the following:
verify the names of students on the list that should be coded at-risk
identify new students that should be added to the at-risk list
The Elementary Learning directors will send a report to the At-Risk Services department for mass coding for the district.
