The formula for determining school accountability regulation, 703 KAR 5:020 does not require a complete ILP for the graduating class of 2008. The regulation is undergoing revisions and the revisions state that the graduates of 2009 shall have a complete ILP.
The revision to Section 2 (7) of 703 KAR 5:020, Formula for Determining School Accountability states that beginning with reporting in 2009-2010 the values for transition to adult life shall be a system of base and bonus points. The points shall be based upon those graduating students who have a completed Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and those graduates who meet additional criteria.
The Minimum High School Graduation Requirements regulation 704 KAR 3:305 requires ILPs for the graduating class of 2012 and beyond. This allows schools to phase in the transition from the paper-based Individual Graduation Plans (IGPs) to the web-enabled Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) but KDE encourages schools to implement the ILPs as quickly as possible. It is important to remember that students in the graduating classes of 2008 - 2011 who do not have an ILP must have a completed IGP to fulfill their high school graduation requirements and for the purpose of calculating accountability.
For accountability, data about completed ILPs and IGPs will be collected through the electronic ILP system. Schools will certify, at the individual student level, that an up-to-date IGP is on file and available for inspection. Again, this option is only available for those students in the graduating classes of 2008 – 2011.
Schools that have implemented the ILP or plan on implementing the ILP in high school will not use this option. When a student completes the ILP, there is no additional process schools will have to follow to report for assessment; the ILP system does this automatically.
If a student transfers into the school without a completed ILP, a completed IGP will substitute for this requirement, and the school can indicate this through the ILP school system.
