Does the GTF Program consider a PI school to be the same as a low-performing school?
No. A Program Improvement (PI) school is a school that has failed to meet the performance or growth targets for students in that school under the U.S. Office of Education No Child Left Behind legislation. A high-performing school (API of 6 or more) could still be designated as a PI school. A school’s eligibility for fulfilling a GTF teaching obligation is determined solely by the API ranking of that school. Teaching in a PI school that has an API ranking of 6 or more would not satisfy your GTF teaching obligation.
