State Compensatory Education

GOAL

The goal of state compensatory education is to reduce any disparity in performance on assessment instruments administered under the TEC, Chapter 39, Subchapter B, Assessment of Academic Skills, between

  • students who are educationally disadvantaged and students who are not educationally disadvantaged; and
  • students at risk of dropping out of school, as defined in the TEC, §29.081, and all other school district students.

SCE program’s desired result is to provide challenging and meaningful instructional programs and services that will close the achievement gap between students at risk of dropping out of school and their peers.

 

PURPOSE

The purpose of the SCE program is to supplement the regular or basic education program with compensatory, intensive, or accelerated instruction. LEAs are required to offer additional accelerated instruction to each student who meets one or more statutory or locally defined eligibility criteria in order to reduce any disparity in performance on assessment instruments administered under the TEC, Chapter 39, Subchapter B, or disparity in the rates of high school completion between students at risk of dropping out of school and all other LEA students.
