Score:
There are significant holes in how Michigan’s interventions fit together for schools needing support.
The plan lacks guidance on the use of evidence-based interventions and support, and there is no evidence provided demonstrating that state-designed efforts have had success in the past. The state does not involve itself directly in helping to improve those schools that are identified for comprehensive and targeted support (and, per above, the state has not identified how those schools would be identified).
Finally, the state provides no explanation for how it will use its 7 percent of federal funds dedicated for school-improvement activities.
