N.M. Admin. Code § 6.19.8.11 - ANNUAL DIFFERENTIATION CYCLE

Pursuant to 20 USC 6303, the department shall annually differentiate categories for school support and improvement. School designation categories differentiated annually include spotlight schools, traditional support schools, schools in need of targeted support and improvement (TSI), and schools in need of additional targeted support and improvement (ATSI).

A. Spotlight school identification. A school shall be identified as a spotlight school if its school index score is above the seventy-fifth percentile of all public schools and the school is not in need of improvement or intervention due to specific priority group index scores. Spotlight schools shall develop and implement school-level plans in accordance with department guidance.

B. Traditional support school identification. A school shall be identified as a traditional support school if the school index score is above the support threshold, at or below the seventy-fifth percentile, and does not meet criteria for TSI or ATSI schools. Traditional support schools shall develop and implement school-level plans in accordance with department guidance.

C. TSI school identification. A school shall be identified as a TSI school if one or more priority groups meet the department's definition of consistently underperforming. A TSI school shall develop and implement a school-level, targeted support and improvement plan that includes evidence-based practices and is in accordance with department guidance.

D. ATSI school identification. A Title I school shall be identified as an ATSI school if one or more priority groups has an index score that falls below the support threshold. An ATSI school shall develop and implement a school-level targeted support and improvement plan that includes evidence-based practices, identifies resource inequities to be addressed through implementation of the plan, and is in accordance with department guidance.
