 Clawson Elementary Schools 31A Polices & Procedures
Eligibility

Eligible students will be determined by the MDE Office of Field Services Identification of Eligible
Section 31A Students criteria. Students will be eligible based either on ELA or Math Core
Academic Objectives not being met or identification of two or more risk factors. Students in
grades 4-5 will be identified based on the prior years MStep scores (Level 3 or 4). Students in
grades K-3 are eligible based on universal screening data (DIBELS, iReady) collected throughout
the year. Those students who are classified by universal screening measures as likely to need
intensive support are eligible for 31A services. Students who are eligible will be marked as
such in MiStar.

Determining Caseload

The yearly 31A caseload will be determined based on eligibility. At least 25% of all eligible
students will be served in a 31A program. The enrollment secretary will distribute a list of
eligible students to the Instructional Specialist before the fall data meeting days. The caseload
students are identified in tri-annual data meetings in which universal screening data, DRA
scores, sight word lists, and other MLPP data are examined. Students are added to a caseload if
they are likely to need intensive support in one or more area of universal screening data, not
being on track to meet reading level benchmarks for their grade, and/or progress monitoring
data collected by the teacher. Students who demonstrate the highest level of need are given
top priority when determining caseloads.

Goal

The goal of the 31A program is to increase the literacy level of non-proficient students in an
effort to narrow and/or close the achievement gap between students operational level and
benchmark grade level literacy/mathematics goals.

Key Components

31A programs are supplemental to the core education program. Services will be delivered in
small groups, optimally 3-5 students per group. All programs will be research-based and
delivered with fidelity. Programs will be targeted to specific student needs and adjusted
accordingly. All programs will align with adopted Michigan ELA and Mathematics standards and
be taught by a highly qualified teacher.

Exit Criteria

Students exit from 31A programs when they demonstrate through progress monitoring,
classroom performance, and benchmark assessments that they are on target to meet or have
met year end benchmark goals. The 31A teacher will meet with the classroom teacher to
examine exit criteria data and determine how to further support and monitor the students
continuous progress in the core program.

Oversight

The districts Federal and State Program Director and school principals will oversee, supervise,
and evaluate 31A programs for effectiveness based on data collected about student progress.
The district Federal and State Program Director will communicate to all stakeholders about
allowable uses of 31A funds.
