Schools receive support from the KDE on day one; provided by Education Recovery (ER) Staff. 3. Schools and districts undergo a Diagnostic Review. 4. The local Board of Education selects a vendor to support their turnaround efforts. 5. Schools and districts develop a three-year turnaround plan that is approved by the local Board of Education and the KDE. 6. The KDE issues federal School Improvement Fund (SIF) grants. 7.

Support for TSI and ATSI Schools The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015 requires local school districts intervene to support their TSI schools. TSI schools must: Amend their Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) to include: Components of turnaround leadership; The identification of critical resource inequities; Evidence-based interventions; and Additional actions taken to support students from consistently underperforming groups.

KDEs Supports for TSI Schools in 2023-24 Due to the lack of new CSI school identifications, the KDE has staff available to support TSI schools in 2023-24. KDE support for TSI schools is optional all TSI schools were given notice and opportunity to opt in. Schools who opt-in to TSI support will receive: A Two-Day Review; Strategic Planning Support; Needs Assessment Analysis; Professional Learning; Leadership Coaching and Support; PLC Development Support; Leadership Team Retreats; Walkthrough Support; Data Analysis Support; and MTSS Development Support.
