AYP Data from the State

Each state is responsible for providing student assessment and AYP results, as well as lists of schools identified for improvement, corrective action, and restructuring, to each school district in a timely manner so that school districts can, before the beginning of the new school year, notify parents that they may transfer their child to another school.
Many states are NOT getting AYP results to districts in time to offer choice before the beginning of the school year. The district must offer choice once they get the data and school districts are advised by the US Department of Education not to wait until the following school year before offering choice.
