Documents Reviewed
The data reviewed during the comprehensive needs assessment process include district 2008-2009 PEIMS data, 2008-2009 AEIS, 2008-2009
PBMAS, 2008-2009 District TAKS Scores, and the input derived from the District Improvement Planning Focus Group that met June 17, 2009 and
subcommittee on August 2009.
Findings/Conclusions
We found that Winfree Academy Charter Schools has continued to meet the standards of Academically Acceptable under alternative accountability
ratings. The district has expanded its social services to address the needs of students to include Cribs in the Classroom, Linking Tree, Courage,
Dropout Recovery Pilot Program, OFSDP, TXSHEP Homeless Grant Services, and 9th Grade Transition centers on campuses with high percentages
of true ninth grade students.
As we transition into the new school year, emphasis needs to be placed on retaining the current population. This will be achieved through providing
opportunities for flexible learning on and off campus (online coursework). Focused and strategic attention needs to be directed towards working with
students served by special populations (Special Education, ESL, 504, and dyslexia). These strategies, although tailored for special populations,
should be integrated into the general population to assist the at-promise learner in raising achievement scores in all content areas.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Students –
Strengths: rated Academically Acceptable for 2008-2009, met or exceeded TAKS performance standards for Alternative Education Accountability
in all subgroups., increased TAKS performance of African American students by 6%, increased quarter completions, decreased district dropout rate,
increased number of graduates, completion rate II above 60% for district
Weaknesses: Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies TAKS scores (Although Social Studies scores, for the most part remain strong, they did
decrease during the 2008-2009 school year. This data is reflected in the current PBMAS stagings.), average daily attendance, achievement scores for
LEP students, dropout rate of LEP students, graduation rate of LEP students, achievement scores for Special Education students, dropout rate of
Special Education students, graduation rate of Special Education students,

Instructional Plan
2009-2010
Staff –
Strengths: 100% highly qualified/certified staff, increased mentoring of students, met or exceeded TAKS performance standards for Alternative
Education Accountability in all subgroups, decreased dropout rate, increased number of graduates, completion rate above 60% for district, rated
Academically Acceptable for 2008-2009, met or exceeded TAKS performance standards for Alternative Education Accountability in all subgroups.,

Instructional Plan
For At-Risk Students
Section I: Program Overview
Program Purpose:
In keeping with the intent and purpose of Section 29.081 of the Texas Education Code addressing Compensatory, Intensive, and
Accelerated Instruction, Winfree Academy Charter Schools (WACS) provides compensatory education services, hereafter
referred to as State Compensatory Education (SCE) Services, which are supplemental to the regular education program for
students identified as at-risk of dropping out of school. The district ensures that these funds remain supplemental to those used
to implement the regular education program and that the intent and purpose of the SCE program are met – to increase the
academic achievement and reduce the dropout rate of students meeting the eligibility criteria as defined by the State of Texas.
Program Goals:
The goals of all WACS SCE services provided to identified students are to:
(1) Reduce any disparity in performance on assessment instruments administered under Subchapter 39.
(2) Reduce or eliminate any disparity in the rates of high school completion between students identified in at-risk
situations and all other district students.

Instructional Plan
2009-2010
Section 2: Student Eligibility
WACS has adopted the criteria delineated in the Texas Education Code (TEC) §29.081 and redefined by Senate Bill (SB) 702
as well as locally adopted criteria used in identifying students who are eligible to receive intensive, supplemental services.
These criteria include the following:
State Criteria
1. Is in grade 9, 10, 11 or 12 and did not maintain an average equivalent to 70 on a scale of 100 in two or more subjects in
the foundation curriculum during a semester in the preceding or current school year or is not maintaining such an average
in two or more subjects in the foundation curriculum in the current semester.
2. Was not advanced from one grade level to the next for one or more school years.
3. Did not perform satisfactorily on an assessment instrument administered to the student under Subchapter B, Chapter 39,
and who has not in the previous or current school year subsequently performed on that instrument or another appropriate
instrument at a level equal to at least 110% of the level of satisfactory performance on that instrument.
4. Is pregnant or is a parent.
5. Has been placed in an AEP in accordance with Section 37.006 during the preceding or current school year.
6. Has been expelled in accordance with Section 37.007 during the preceding or current school year.
7. Is currently on parole, probation, deferred prosecution, or other conditional release.
8. Was previously reported through the PEIMS to have dropped out of school.
9. Is a student of limited English proficiency, as defined by Section 29.052.
10.Is in the custody or care of the Dept. of Protective and Regulatory Services or has, during the current school year been
referred to the Department by a school official, officer of the juvenile court, or law enforcement official.
11.Is homeless, as defined by 42 U.S.C. Section 11302, and its subsequent amendments.
12.Resided in the preceding school year or reside in the current school year in a residential placement facility in the district,
including a detention facility, substance abuse treatment facility, emergency shelter, psychiatric hospital, halfway house,
or foster group home.

Instructional Plan
2009-2010
Local Criteria
The following criteria will be used locally to determine the at-risk status of students. The number of students who
will be funded with State Compensatory Education funds on the basis of local criteria will be limited to 10% of the
number of students funded during the previous year on the basis of state criteria. Those students who are identified
as “at- risk” using local criteria and who are not included in the previously mentioned limited student group will
receive all services offered to at-risk students at Winfree Academy, and the expenses for those services will be
covered by Foundation School Program funds.
A separate list of students identified as at-risk solely on the basis of local criteria will be kept for students identified
as at-risk solely on the basis of local criteria, but these students will be entered and exited from at-risk services by
the same process as students identified on the basis of state criteria.
1. Has the student been a victim of child abuse, neglect, or molestation?

2. Has the student been a victim of family or community violence?
3. Are the student’s parents in jail or prison?
4. Does the student live with a parent or sibling who did not complete high school?
5. Does the student live in a single-parent home?
6. Does the student’s family qualify for free or reduced breakfast?

Instructional Plan
2009-2010
Section 3: Identification and Exit Procedures
• Students identified as at-risk according to state criteria will be reported in PEIMS as “at-risk”.
• Students identified as at-risk according to local criteria will receive at-risk services, but will not be identified
as at-risk students reported in PEIMS data.
• Students in the program who have previously failed TAAS or TAKS will be reviewed in the spring of each
school year following the receipt of test scores for that year to ascertain that the students have achieved
110% of the minimum standard on each test taken.
When students enroll in Winfree Academy, records from the individual student’s sending school are reviewed to
determine if the student has been previously identified and entered into the PEIMS as “at risk”. The state criteria
are reviewed in relation to each entering student. If a previously unidentified student qualifies as “at-risk”
according to state criteria, that information will be entered into the PEIMS data. In addition, students are screened
for identification as “at-risk” by having them complete the “At-Risk Questionnaire” which contains the local
criteria. If any of the local criteria is given a “Yes” response, the student will be considered “at-risk”, and will
receive at-risk services. At the end of each year, or as needed when a change in a student’s legal disposition
occurs, that student’s status will be reviewed by school staff to determine if removal from the at-risk program is
justified.
Any “yes” response given by a student to the questions listed in the Questionnaire will result in the student being
placed in the at-risk program. When a student is identified using local criteria, Data Entry personnel will designate
each identified student as “at-risk” in district computer records, and a copy of the Questionnaire will be filed in the
student’s permanent folder. Any student eligible and considered at-risk under state criteria is reported directly
through the PEIMS. A student who is NOT identified as at-risk will not receive at-risk services, but a copy of the
Questionnaire completed by the student will be kept in the student’s permanent folder for information purposes.

Instructional Plan
2009-2010
At the end of each school year, or whenever changes in conditions occur that may affect a student’s at-risk status,
the criteria for eligibility and identification as at-risk as it now applies to this student will be reviewed, the student
will be asked to complete a new Questionnaire, the student’s computer records will be updated as needed, and a
copy of the Questionnaire will be filed in the student’s permanent folder. If a change occurs that removes the basis
for any student’s designation as “at-risk”, the student will be exited from the at-risk program, as evidenced by the
Questionnaire in the student’s permanent folder, and such removal will be duly noted by any necessary data
revisions submitted to the PEIMS.
Section 4: Provision of Services
Upon identification of students, the campus contact, in collaboration with appropriate campus staff, shall insure that identified
students are provided appropriate services that address the students’ qualifying criteria. These services may include, but are not
limited to the following:
• Intensive remediation services for State assessments in “pull-out” sessions.

• Extended learning opportunities
• Academic support for students recovering from addiction (Courage program)
• Peer or teacher mentoring sessions
• Pregnancy related services
• Parent/guardian/community information sessions targeted at meeting the needs of at-risk students
• Intensive supplemental reading programs
• Supplemental math tutoring
• Student support services
• Attendance recovery
