​Description of Exit Criteria

Schools designated for CSI will have four years to satisfy certain standards—what ESSA calls "exit criteria"—before additional interventions apply.  This provision also applies to Title 1 schools designated as A-TSI.

Pennsylvania's exit criteria include:

  • Show continued improvement on at least the academic achievement indicator and, in the case of high schools, the adjusted cohort graduation rate, such that the school contributes to the state's progress toward both interim and long-term goals. 
  • Show continued improvement on any school quality or student success indicator(s) for which the school was designated. 
  • Partner in agency-provided technical assistance activities through the Statewide System of District and School Improvement.
