Section 13-3-64 - State accountability system to establish timeline and measurable objectives. - South Dakota Statutes

13-3-64. State accountability system to establish timeline and measurable objectives. The state accountability system shall establish a timeline for adequate yearly progress that ensures that no later than the 2013-2014 school year, all students meet or exceed the state's proficient level of academic achievement as measured by the state's assessments. Annual measurable objectives in both reading and mathematics shall be established to ensure continuous and substantial academic improvement of the achievement of all public school students as well as sub-groups of public school students, including economically disadvantaged students, students from major racial and ethnic groups, students with disabilities, and students with limited English proficiency. The annual measurable objectives shall identify a single minimum percentage of students who are required to meet or exceed the proficient level on the academic assessments. The objectives shall be applied separately in reading and mathematics and shall be applied to all students and to each sub-group of students described in this section. The annual measurable objectives shall be used for determining adequate yearly progress.
