Achievement Gap Reduction (AGR) Program Forms and Reports

Forms and Reports

Achievement Gap Reduction (AGR) Five-Year Achievement Gap Reduction Contract Application.

• Example AGR Contract - Schools eligible to participate in the AGR program will be sent an email on how to apply for an AGR five-year contract during their renewal year in March.  Contract renewals must be received by the end of June of a schools renewal year.
• Achievement Gap Reduction Program (AGR) Program Strategy Resource Guide is available to assist AGR schools. The information provided is intended to connect schools with resources that may strengthen schools’ implementation of the AGR program.

AGR Performance Objectives and School Board Reporting Template — due to the school board upon the conclusion of each semester during the regular school year.

• AGR Performance Objectives and School Board Reporting Template - AGR schools are required to report to the school board at the end of each semester on the school's success in attaining the performance objectives established in the AGR contract and which AGR strategies the school implemented. AGR schools may make changes to the performance objectives in the five-year AGR contract at any time but are not required to submit those changes to DPI. Schools may use this template to track and edit the performance objectives.
• The AGR Audit Manual states that districts must be able to produce documentation 1) that the school board has provided a description of the performance objectives for academic achievement and the formative and summative assessments that will be used to evaluate success in attaining those objectives and 2) that the school board reviewed the progress made on growth objectives at the end of each semester during the fiscal year. Consider this when determining how your district reports this information to the school board.
   
• Requirements for the school board report at the end of every semester:
  • School board reports only need to be submitted to DPI if requested.
  • Schools must keep a record that the school board has been provided with a description of the performance objectives for academic achievement, the formative and summative assessments that will be used to evaluate the success in attaining those objectives, and that the school board has reviewed the progress made on growth objectives at the end of each semester.
  • The district and school board must determine whether the report needs to be included as an agenda item at a school board meeting according to district policy. The report can be submitted in regular reports/updates to the school board, in formal reports to the school board, or in other appropriate formats determined by the district.
  • There are no set deadlines for the end-of-semester report to the school board. Schools should report out in a timely fashion following the conclusion of each semester during the regular school year.
  • Schools operating on a trimester schedule must determine an appropriate time to deliver reports to the school board that works with the school and district calendar.
