Text (slide 14):

What if a school fails to make AYP?

• For the first time, parents, voters and taxpayers will know when schools aren't getting the job done.
• Failing schools will receive extra help.
• Students in chronically failing schools will have escape routes.
• Schools that continue to fail after receiving extra help may be reformed by the state.
