  9. Focus School List 2014-2015 No Change • At this time, no additional Focus Schools will be added to the Focus School List • Campuses missing System Safeguards will still be required to address missed indicators in the Campus Improvement Plan and engage in the TAIS process • Additional intervention activities will be announced once they are released by TEA

  10. New County District Campus Numbers To Change or Not to Change – That is the Question! • TEA policy requires school districts and charters to request campus number changes of existing campuses for the current school year by October 1. • Must consult with the TEA Division of Program Monitoring and Interventions (PMI) to change a campus number of a campus rated Improvement Required. • Does not absolve the district of the state accountability rating history associated with campuses newly consolidated, divided, or closed, nor preclude the requirement of participation in intervention activities. • Required Improvement will not be available for campuses who change numbers.
