Differentiated Accountability
The Florida model for Differentiated Accountability (DA) aligns and integrates federal and state accountability systems to allow implementation of school improvement strategies that will have the greatest impact on low-performing schools. The model differentiates among schools based on school grade and percent of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria met.
Charter schools that receive Title I, Part A funds are required to implement all Title I school improvement requirements. In addition, charter schools graded "D" or "F" are subject to increased state intervention, in conjunction with the charter governing board. The following memorandums have been issued to address Differentiated Accountability procedures for charter schools.
