Establishment

  • rules

(1)

The State Board of Education shall establish a system of determining successful schools and dispensing appropriate incentive rewards to those schools. The system shall be based on a school being the measurement unit to determine success. School success shall be determined by measuring a school’s improvement over a specific assessment period. The successful schools program shall be voluntary.

(2)

A school may submit an application to the Department of Education for the successful schools program. The application shall include a short statement from the school requesting consideration for the successful schools program. The application shall also include a copy of the district continuous improvement plan implemented pursuant to ORS 329.095 (School district and school self-evaluations) for the school.

(3)

A school may not amend its application after the application is submitted without approval by the state board. A school that has submitted an application may not submit a new application until the assessment period has ended, unless the school withdraws the previous application.

(4)

The department shall distribute incentive rewards to schools that are determined to be successful schools. The board shall establish criteria for determining successful schools. The criteria shall include, but not be limited to:

(a)

The results from the statewide assessment system developed pursuant to ORS 329.485 (Statewide assessment system);

(b)

The achievement of measurable academic goals from district continuous improvement plans; and

(c)

Other criteria relating to improvement in student learning.

(5)

The department shall base the amount of the reward to each successful school on the number of teachers employed by the school. The minimum reward for each full-time teacher shall be $1,000. Part-time teachers shall receive a percentage of the reward based on the amount of time the part-time teacher worked. Teachers hired during the assessment period shall receive a percentage of the reward based on the length of time the teacher worked at the school during the assessment period.

(6)

Each teacher shall individually decide how to use the reward. A reward shall be used by a teacher for classroom enhancements or professional development. As used in this subsection, “classroom enhancements” means items and activities that will improve student learning, including, but not limited to, books, instructional materials, multimedia equipment and software, supplies and field trips.

(7)

The State Board of Education shall adopt any rules necessary to implement the successful schools program. [1997 c.864 §2; 2007 c.858 §25a]
