What happens if a school does not make AYP in two consecutive years and then decides it does not want, or the district does not allocate, Title I funds? What consequences will apply?
Consequences do not apply when Title I funds are not used. However, once a school receives Title I funds again, consequences would apply based on the number of years the school had not met AYP, but no more than Step 1 (the 2nd consecutive year of not making AYP). So if a school did not make AYP 4 years in a row, it would be in Step 3 the following year. If the school then receives Title I funds, the Step 1 consequences apply.
