Comprehensive Support and Improvement/Educational Recovery

There are three ways for a school to be identified for comprehensive support and improvement:

• The school is among the lowest performing 5% of Title I or non-Title I schools by level in Kentucky;
• The Title I or non-Title I high school has a four-year graduation rate of 80% or less; or
• The Title I or non-Title I school was previously identified for Tier II Targeted Support for at least three years and have not exited (beginning 2021-2022).

Once schools have been notified, they must work with local shareholders to develop and implement a comprehensive support and improvement plan.

By law, these plans must be informed by all the indicators in the state's accountability system, include evidence-based interventions, be based on a school-level needs assessment, and identify resource inequities that must be addressed.
