2009 NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND (NCLB) & ADEQUATE YEARLY PROGRESS (AYP) STATUS

Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, each state is required to assess all school districts to determine if each district has made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) toward meeting the academic testing standards and additional measures set by the state. AYP decisions are based on the results of state testing in communication arts and math. In Missouri, that test is the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP).

SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICES (SES)
Supplemental Education Services is offered for students in schools that are in School Improvement Level II. Because no school in North Kansas City Schools meets this criterion, we are not offering SES during the 2009-10 school year. ( Link: http://www.nkcsd.k12.mo.us/nclb/ses.pdf )
