STATE COMPENSATORY EDUCATION (SCE)
Policies and Procedures
YES Prep has systemwide written policies and procedures to identify the following:
• Students who are at risk of dropping out of school under state criteria
• Students who are at risk of dropping out of school under local criteria
• How students enter the SCE program
• How students are exited from the SCE program
• Cost of the regular education program in relation to budget allocations per
student and/or instructional staff per student ratio
Total SCE funds allotted to West: $1,276,577
The process we use to identify students at-risk is:
• Six-weeks documented interventions once a student is in the response to
intervention (RTI) process.
• If the student does not improve after six weeks, they will be evaluated by the
RTI team to identify other necessary interventions.
• Student would be identified as at-risk after the RTI team meets.
The process we use to exit students from the SCE program who no longer qualify is:
• The RTI team will evaluate at-risk students at the six-week point to determine if
they need continued interventions; or
• Based on performance, should be exited from the SCE program.
