Schools participating in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program (II/USP) or High Priority Schools Grant Program (HPSGP) must meet their program’s definition of significant growth, based on the results of the Schoolwide Academic Performance Index (API), or the school is deemed state-monitored. Each school participating in either the II/USP or HPSGP must meet its program’s definition of significant growth each year until the school exits the program. Education Code sections 52055.5, 52055.51, and 52055.650 require the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, with the approval of the State Board of Education, to impose various sanctions on state-monitored schools. One option is to require the district to enter into a contract with a School Assistance and Intervention Team (SAIT).
The purpose of a SAIT is to investigate and provide intensive support and monitoring to assist state-monitored schools in improving student learning.
