State Compensatory Education Program

Purpose

State Compensatory Education (SCE) funds may be used to provide a compensatory, intensive, or accelerated program that enables the students to be performing at grade level at the conclusion of the next regular school term.  West Sabine ISD will provide compensatory education that is designed to supplement the regular education program to directly increase the academic achievement of students identified as at risk of dropping out of school.

The SCE program planning and decision-making for the district will include the superintendent, principal(s), and the site-based decision-making committee.

Districts receiving SCE funds are required to have local policies and procedures in place to identify:  

  • Students who are at-risk of dropping out of school under TEC Section 29.081 criteria;

  • Students who are at-risk of dropping out of school under local criteria and document compliance with the 10% cap in TEC Section 29.081;

  • How students are entered into the SCE program;

  • How students are exited from the SCE program;

  • The methodology involving calculation of the 110% satisfactory performance on all assessment instruments; and

  • The cost of the regular education program in relation to budget allocations per student and/or instructional staff per student ratio.
