Title I Schools Identified for Improvement (SIFI) Requirements

Overview

The purpose of this resource is to help school leaders from Title I Schools Identified for Improvement (SIFI) comply with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). This resource summarizes the law, lists its specific requirements, and provides examples of how those requirements can be met. It also includes obligations for charter school authorizers.

Schools identified for improvement are those that miss Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for two (or more) consecutive years in the same indicator (reading, mathematics, test participation, or attendance/graduation). AYP is based on annual Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations results for grades 3 through 8 and 10.
