Dr. Marci Shepard presented preliminary state assessment data and information about Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) to the Orting School District Board. The presentation showed that Orting students were generally above state averages in reading but below in math. It also explained that AMOs set benchmarks to cut proficiency gaps in half by 2017 and that Orting's preliminary spring 2012 data would be publicly released later that month. The presentation aimed to update the board on district performance data and the new state accountability system.

8. State-developed differentiated recognition
accountability and support
o Annual Measurable Objectives
• Using 2011 as a baseline, OSPI set benchmarks that will
cut proficiency gaps in half by 2017 for every WA
school.
• No sanctions required, but the expectation is that SIPs
would include strategies to close gaps.
• N size = 20
