When a school is identified as academically under-performing by State Education Department standards, it is appointed a receiver to help. 

In our case, the receiver is the superintendent, who is given increased authority to make changes directly at our school, including curriculum, staffing, budgeting, and more.

Beginning with the 2018-19 school year, placement of a school under superintendent receivership is a consequence of its being identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) under the state’s new accountability system under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) plan.

Our school is required to submit a plan to the State Education Department outlining our process and timeline for improving in designated areas. The documents are available below on this page.

You can learn more about the mechanics of receivership by visiting the State Education Department's website.

Because we are in receivership, our school is eligible for a state grant to support turnaround efforts. These turnaround efforts are being conducted across a variety of areas, and you can learn more details by reviewing the documents on this page.

If our school fails to demonstrate improvement, it may be placed in independent receivership for three years. This means that the receiver will change from our superintendent to an outside individual or organization.

Schools can exit receivership in one of three ways:

1. The school is not identified as an under-performing school on the next state accountability list

2. The school meets certain performance benchmarks set by the State Education Department for two consecutive years

3. The school can be closed and restructured

• Sandra Polikowski

• Meaghan Butterfield

  
  

This plan outlines the needs assessment of our school and community. It explains the activities that will be grant-funded and includes a progress-monitoring process and timeline.
