HJ 165 Study; school incentive reward program.
Introduced by: Mitchell Van Yahres | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Study; school incentive reward program. Establishes a joint subcommittee to study the efficacy and appropriateness of creating a school incentive reward program in the Commonwealth to recognize improved educational performance in public schools. The joint subcommittee shall consider school incentive reward programs in other states; potential criteria such as pupil academic performance, Literacy Passport test scores, student and teacher attendance rates, graduation rates, percentages of graduates pursuing higher education, enrollments in particular courses or curricula, parental and community involvement, and cooperation between the school and relevant state and local agencies; the incorporation of school population information, such as the percentage of at-risk students, community education and poverty levels, local ability-to-pay, and school enrollments; the propriety of grouping various schools in the application of reward criteria; ways in which existing evaluation mechanisms, such as the Outcome Accountability Project, might be employed to collect the data necessary to assess improved educational performance; possible funding sources for such an initiative in Virginia; and such other issues as the joint subcommittee deems appropriate.
