Text (slide 26):

What if a school fails to make AYP?

  • For the first time, parents, voters and taxpayers will know when schools aren’t getting the job done.
  • Failing schools will receive extra help.
  • Students in chronically failing schools will have escape routes.
  • Schools that continue to fail after receiving extra help may be reformed by the state.
