67. Schools and districts that do not make AYP for two or more
consecutive years must follow a required course of action to improve
school performance. A school or district's quot;Accountability statusquot; defines
that course of action. Accountability Status designations include
Improvement, Corrective Action and Restructuring.
To be assigned to the positive No Status category, schools have to make
AYP in a subject for all student groups for two or more consecutive years.
