9. Differentiated Accountability: What does it mean to me?

10. How is it calculated? Step 1: Identify the Buildings in SI status SI status includes buildings that have the following designations: SI – Year 1 through SI Year 9 SI – Year 1 Delay through SI Year 9 Delay SI status does not include At Risk.

11. How is it calculated? Step 2: Gather the Local Report Cards for the SI Buildings and the District Districts and their SI Buildings are considered one unit of analysis The percentage of evaluated cells that show as not met in the District and SI Buildings determines your percentage.

12. What is an evaluated cell?

13. How is it calculated? 1.How many evaluated cells are there in the grid above? 2. How many evaluated cells got a designation of not met? 20…EXCELLENT! 5…PERFECT!

14. The Formula: The number of evaluated cells that received a Not Met designation The total number of evaluated cells = % 20 5 = 25% OR How is it calculated? Step 3: Apply the formula

15. District with SI Building: 34 5 OR 14.71% 20 5 14 0 20 5 14 0 = +

16. How did I become a Tier 1 District? Step 1: Differentiated Accountability Percentage Your percentage was 20% or greater. If lower than 20%, you were not rank ordered among those with higher need
