Comprehensive District Improvement Plan Paintsville Independent Introduction National data show that poor and minority students, English Language Learners and students with disabilities continue to be taught more often than their peers by inexperienced, out-of-field or ineffective teachers. As a result, the United States Department of Education (USDE) required states to develop equity plans and use evidence based strategies to address this issue. Kentucky’s plan is focused on teacher preparation; recruitment, hiring and placement of teachers; providing supports for on-going, job-embedded professional learning; and strategies to retain teacher and leaders. All districts and schools in Kentucky are required to identify barriers and develop strategies to address these issues to achieving equitable access to effective educators for students most at risk. This is being incorporated within the Comprehensive District and School Improvement Plans. This diagnostic should be used as tool for identification of barriers and a catalyst for development of strategies that will result in novice reduction for gap closure. Strategies will be incorporated into the Comprehensive District Improvement Plan.

Follow the steps below: Provide a brief analysis the of district data from the chart. Include any trends, note-worthy data points or perceptions the data has provided related to equitable access to effective educators. Paintsville Independent employs 53 teachers: 26 at Paintsville Elementary School and 27 at Paintsville High School. Out of the 53 teachers, all are teaching in their field of expertise and 50 have four or more years of teaching experience. The district currently has 2 teachers who are participating in the KTIP process and 3 teachers who possess National Board Certification. Both schools are led by experienced Principals. PISD Gap Population 20 Minority Students 337 Free/Reduced Lunch Students (44% of total population) 100 Students with Disabilities After the data analysis is complete, the district will then identify the barriers (challenges) for some of the identified trends. An identified barrier, for example, could be higher teacher turnover in priority schools as compared with non-priority schools. Once the barriers have been identified, then root causes of why the barriers exist will be included. After a review of data for the Paintsville Independent School District, we have not identified any barriers to inhibit a quality education for our students. We do not have a high teacher turnover rate and all of our teachers work in their field of expertise. However, we have noticed a trend district wide: the increase of students who receive a free/reduced lunch and an increase of students who have a learning disability. Once the students have been indentified, we ensure the needs of these students are met with differentiated instruction and specific RTI measures throughout the course of the year.

Follow the steps below: Strategies and Activities Equitable access to effective educators must be reflected in the Comprehensive District Improvement Plan. Strategies could include, but are not limited to, recruitment; hiring and placement of teachers and/or students; providing supports for on-going, job-embedded professional learning to improve teacher and leader effectiveness; and strategies to retain teacher and leaders, particularly in high needs schools. Once implemented, these should assist the district in meeting the goals set in the previous section. If there are strategies and activities within one of the five major goals of the CDIP, which adequately addresses equitable access, the district may select the appropriate
