Sec. 5.
(a) Beginning with data for the 2001-2002 school year and each subsequent year, for a school or school corporation to make adequate yearly progress under this section: (1) each group of students described in section 6 of this rule must meet or exceed the measurable objectives in English and the measurable objectives in mathematics under section 4 of this rule, except that if any group does not meet those objectives in any particular year, the school or school corporation shall be considered to have made adequate yearly progress if the percentage of students in that group who did not meet the pass level of academic achievement on ISTEP+ for that year decreased by ten percent (10%) of that percentage from the preceding school year and that group made progress on the other academic indicators described in section 8 of this rule;(2) the school or school corporation meets or exceeds the other academic indicators under section 8 of this rule; and(3) not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of each group of students described in section 6 of this rule who are enrolled in the school are required to take state assessments in English and not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of each group of students described in section 6 of this rule who are enrolled in the school are required to take state assessments in mathematics, including an alternate: (A) assessment for students with disabilities; and(B) form of assessment for limited English proficient students; except that the ninety-five percent (95%) requirement shall not apply in a case in which the number of students in a group is fewer than forty (40).(b) The ninety-five percent (95%) requirement for each subject area shall be calculated using the number of students in the: (1) group who participated in the assessments as the numerator; and(2) group enrolled in the school or school corporation on the ADM count date established under 511 IAC 1-3-1.(c) Consecutive years of failing to make adequate yearly progress shall be based on failing to meet the measurable annual objective in the same subject (English or mathematics) for consecutive years. If a school or school corporation in a given year fails to meet the annual objective in English but meets the objective in mathematics and in the next year one (1) or more student groups under section 6 of this rule fails to meet the objective in English, the school or school corporation has failed to make adequate yearly progress for two (2) consecutive years. If, however, the school or school corporation meets the annual objective in English for all student groups in the second year, then the timeline restarts. If the school or school corporation fails to meet the annual objective in mathematics, it has now failed to make adequate yearly progress for one (1) year. If the school or school corporation meets the annual objective in mathematics, the school or school corporation has no consecutive years of not making adequate yearly progress.
