    Identical to S 450, filed 3/25/15.

    Current law, under GS 115C-83.15, requires the State Board of Education (SBE) to calculate a school performance score for all schools in the state based on a formula using school achievement and growth data and to convert the total school performance score to a 100-point scale, which is used to determine a school performance grade for each school based on a 10-point scale where a performance score of 90 or above is an overall performance grade of A, a school performance score of at least 80 is an overall performance grade of B, a school performance score of at least 70 is an overall performance grade of C, a school performance score of at least 60 is an overall performance grade of D, and a school performance score of less than 60 is an overall performance grade of F.

    Provides that regardless of the provisions of GS 115C-83.15(d), the SBE is required, only for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years, to convert the total school performance score to a 100-point scale and to determine a school performance grade for each school based on a 15-point scale where a performance score of 85 or above is an overall performance grade of A, a school performance score of at least 70 is an overall performance grade of B, a school performance score of at least 55 is an overall performance grade of C, a school performance score of at least 40 is an overall performance grade of D, and a school performance score of less than 40 is an overall performance grade of F.
