# §30.121. How will the Secretary implement requirements for comprehensive support and improvement activities?

- (a) Once notified that it has been identified for comprehensive support and improvement, each BIE-funded school is required to develop and implement, in partnership with stakeholders (including principals and other school leaders, teachers, and parents), a comprehensive support and improvement plan to improve student outcomes that:
  - (1) Is informed by all indicators described in [§ 30.111(f)](/cfr/25/30.111.md?p=f), including student performance against BIE-determined long-term goals described in [§ 30.111(d)](/cfr/25/30.111.md?p=d);
  - (2) Includes evidence-based interventions;
  - (3) Is based on a school-level needs assessment;
  - (4) Identifies resource inequities, which may include a review of school-level budgeting, to be addressed through implementation of such comprehensive support and improvement plan;
  - (5) Is approved by the school and the BIE; and
  - (6) **Upon approval and implementation, is monitored and periodically reviewed by the BIE.**
- (b) In regard to high schools that have been identified as having failed to graduate one-third or more of their students, the BIE may:
  - (1) Permit differentiated improvement activities that use evidence-based interventions in the case of a school that predominantly serves students:
    - (i) Returning to education after having exited secondary school without a regular high school diploma; or
    - (ii) Who, based on their grade or age, are significantly off track to accumulate sufficient academic credits to meet high school graduation requirements; and
  - (2) In the case of a school that has a total enrollment of fewer than 100 students, permit the BIE-funded school to forego implementation of improvement activities.
