2. We are Title I because…
• Our school has a high number of students who
are eligible for Free and Reduced Price Lunch.
– We receive additional federal money to help
increase student achievement in our school.
– Unified Improvement Plans (UIP) were written to
clearly define how Title I money will be spent. You
are welcome to attend a CSC (Collaborative School
Committee) meeting or come to the office to see
the UIP.
3. We are Title I because…
– All educational funds in our schools, including
Title I, support a standards based education.
Student progress is monitored on the Denver
Public Schools Standards Based Progress Report
(SBPR) each trimester.
– 1% of the district’s Title I budget will be
distributed to schools for parent involvement. You
have the right to have input as to how this money
is spent. You can learn more by contacting your
CSC parent representative or attending a CSC
meeting.
4. What is the State School Performance
Framework (SPF)?
The framework used, by the state, to provide
information to stakeholders about each school’s
performance based on the four key performance
indicators: student academic growth, student
achievement, achievement and growth gaps,
and postsecondary/workforce readiness.
Schools are assigned to a type of improvement
plan based on their performance across all of
the indicator areas.

6. What are the priority categories?
• Elementary and middle schools that earn at least 35%
but less than 45%, of their framework points, on the
school performance framework report are assigned to
a Priority Improvement Plan category. Schools that
receive less than 35% are assigned to a Turnaround
Plan category.
• High schools that earn at least 30% but less than 45%,
of their framework points, on the school performance
framework report are assigned to a Priority
Improvement Plan category. Schools that receive less

10. Highly Qualified Teachers
• You have the right to know the qualifications
of the teachers in your school.
• You will receive a letter of notification in the
Fall if your child is being taught by a teacher
who does not meet the federal requirements.
The Colorado Educational Accountability Act focused attention on four areas of performance for Colorado schools and district – Achievement, Growth, Growth Gaps and Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness.
The state has defined specific measures that it will use to annually monitor and report on performance in each of these performance indicator areas. Those measures are:
For Achievement, the percent of students who score proficient and advanced on CSAP, Lectura, Escritura, and CSAPA in Reading, Writing, Mathematics and Science.
For Academic Growth, the median student growth percentile in reading, writing and mathematics.
For Academic Growth Gaps, the median student growth percentiles of the following disaggregated groups of students: students qualifying for free/reduced price lunch, minority students, students with disabilities, students who are English Language Learners, and students scoring below proficient.
For post-secondary and workforce readiness, which only applies to secondary schools, the average Colorado ACT composite score, the graduation rate, and the drop-out rate.
Sabin is Green, Meets Expectations. Our performance plan is based on this.
