How will the LEA identify students who need to be re-engaged?

The Madison Parish School District collects scholar attendance data in the JPAMS’ system. The data revealsscholars by: demographic(race), socio-economic status, and diverse scholars status. The data isdisaggregated by the above scholars groups, by school, and by grade-level to drill information that wouldhelp identify the individual scholars who need to be engaged. Below are the key findings:

● Overall, MPSD scholar enrollment increased to 1,192 in 2021-2022 from 1,153 in 2020-2021.● As of September 2021 the total scholar enrollment is 1,192 an increase of 39 scholars.● The district is composed of 95% African-American, 4% White, and 1% Hispanic.● The district’s total number of free and reduced lunch is 95%.● All schools in the district are Title 1 Funded 100%.● There are 165 diverse learners in the district for the 21-22 school year as compared to 146 for

Describe the LEAs plan for implementing evidence-based activities. How will the selected evidence-based activitiesaddress the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on subgroups of students?

The LEA will address school improvement best practices with focus on proper implementation of Instructional Leadership Teams(ILTs) by partnering with the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET). The district has partnered with NIET over the lastfive (5) years. The partnership will continue with NIET and our SISS representative from The Louisiana Department of Education toguide and instruct school leaders on how to facilitate effective ILT meetings. Due to a lack of assistant principals, the district hashired administrative assistants to help the school leaders (principals) focus on instruction by taking the lead with student disciplineand other managerial duties. The school leaders will attend regularly scheduled guidance meetings with the district’s academiclead to analyze and disaggregate school data and then formulate an agenda to work with their ILT to use that data to inform andguide instruction.

The school's literacy team holds the responsibility for creating and monitoring the comprehensive literacy plan and setting goalsfor literacy in the school. Additionally, the school literary team will use Louisiana’s Four Pillars of Literacy as a guide for setting allliteracy goals and activities throughout the LEA’s district. Additionally, the Bailey Consultant Group has been providing professionaldevelopment for K-5 teachers. Also the district’s literacy project director will provide professional development to teachers basedon the recommendation of the school leader. Louisiana’s Act 108 requires early literacy training for K-3 teachers of reading, as
