AMAO Improvement Plan
• ODE determines the targets for each of the Annual Measureable
Achievement Objectives (AMAO)
– Districts must have a rating of MET for each of the three AMAOs each year in
order to have an overall rating of MET for the Title III accountability
requirements (AMAO)
• If a district does not meet one or more AMAO target(s) for two
consecutive years, the district is required to develop an improvement
plan that addresses the factors that prevented the district from meeting
the specific AMAO target(s)
– The plan is to be implemented in the 14-15 school year.
• Districts not meeting one or more AMAO target(s) for 3 consecutive
years must revise their plan and submit the revision accordingly.
• If the district fails to meet one or more AMAO target(s)for four or more
consecutive years the state is required to have the district
• modify its curriculum, program, and method of instruction;
• or determine whether the district will continue to receive Title III funds related to the
failure to meet the AMAOs,
• and require the district to replace educational personnel relevant to the district’s
failure to meet the objectives. [Section 3122(b)(4)]. Please refer to the required
criteria above in your improvement plan if your district is in four year status.

percentages that have less than 47% of students
making targeted improvement.
• Indicate below any schools falling below 47%
students showing improvement.
AMAO 2:
•
•
Even if the district met the 9% AMAO-2(a)
transition target, identify specific schools
needing improvement.
Analyze the Percent AMAO 2B column to locate
the percentages that have less than 27% of
students transitioning from ELD programs after
5 years of program services.
