Slide7District requirements
Identify equity gaps 1.5 or greater using SLE report (both district and school level – all district schools)
Identify strategies to address those gaps
Strategies should
be incorporated into core strategic planning documents (e.g., district/school improvement plans
) – DESE will not collect
Summarize gaps/strategies in FY19 ESSA grant application

FY19 ESSA grant application
Slide10FY19 ESSA grant application
Consolidated application includes section identifying district-wide priorities
In this section, districts will be asked:
Did you look at SLE report and find gaps 1.5 or greater?What are those gaps?
What are the strategies the district will use to address those gaps? (brief summary information)
10
Slide11District coordination
This component will require coordination across the district, and might include:
Title I director, Title IIA director, data specialists, principals, curriculum directors, special education and ESL directors, staff charged with hiring, etc.
11
Slide12Timeline and structure
Districts should have identified and begun to address equity gaps by the end of this school year
ESSA grant application will be available July
2018We strongly encourage districts to include their strategies to address equity gaps as part of the larger District Improvement Plan/Strategic Plan
This is not a one-time requirement. Each year, districts should look at their equity data just like they look at their assessment data, etc.

Economically disadvantaged students, students of color, and English learners are
about 30 to 40 percent
more likely than their peers to be assigned to a teacher with <3 years of experience
These student groups are all more than
1.7 times
as likely as their peers to be assigned to a teacher rated E/PStudents with disabilities are 11 percent more likely than students without disabilities to be assigned to a teacher rated E/P
