I like our district's perspective. Indicators like test scores and AYP are part of what we use to determine where we place our focus. It isn't THE focus.

Kevin,<br />
<br />
I like all of those answers!<br />
<br />
It seems like the only "punishment" to not making AYP is embarrassment. (Sorry, I can't spell embarassment.)<br />
<br />
To me, bigger issue is higher student achievement and higher graduation rates. If you can do that, who cares whether or not you make AYP.

Lots of potential ways to answer that.<br />
<br />
Bad because of the bad PR associated with it?<br />
<br />
Bad because of the extra resources needed to address consequences?<br />
<br />
Good because it may spur improvement beyond just graduating everyone?<br />
<br />
Moot because we're shorting approaching a time when practically speaking no one will make AYP and it may become meaningless?
