Part 4 - School Accountability
§ 22-11-406. School Turnaround Plan - Contents

(VI.5) For a public school that serves students enrolled in kindergarten or any of grades one through three, that the public school invest in research-based strategies focused on early learning and development to address any deficiencies identified in the early childhood learning needs assessment completed for the public school pursuant to subsection (3)(c) of this section if the cause of the public school's low performance is directly related to lack of school readiness and access to quality early learning opportunities, as demonstrated by student achievement data for the early elementary grades, and the public school has not successfully implemented these strategies in the preceding school years. Research-based early learning and development strategies include increasing the quality and availability of early learning and development programs for students who reside within the neighborhood of the public school and increasing the resources available in kindergarten through third grade to improve school readiness and early learning. A public school may implement strategies focused on early learning and development as described in this subsection (3)(d)(VI.5) only in combination with at least one other research-based strategy specified in this subsection (3)(d).
