Otther Changes Schools must evaluate teachers t and prin ncipals, but resuults will not be uused in the calcuulation of SPI scorres. School climate c remains a focus of work k with Priority sschools, but resuults will not be uused in the calculatiion of SPI scorees. Previoussly, a school’s first f year of desiignation as a Foccus or Priority sschool was also the first implemeentation year. Beginning in 2014-15, a school’ss first year of deesignation will bbe a planning g year to determ mine necessary in nterventions, staaffing and budgget needs, etc. After three years, Focu us schools makin ng substantial pprogress (closingg the achievemeent gap by 25% and d making good faith f efforts) can n remain so cateegorized, insteadd of being moveed into the Priority category. After four years, Prioriity schools mak king substantial pprogress (closinng the achievem ment gap by 25% and d making good faith f efforts) can n remain so cateegorized, insteadd of being moveed to an impositiion of interventiion model.
