1. Legislation under State Law 6A-109981 requires each school designated as a D or F school with respect to student performance should include in its school improvement plan the "unique demographic characteristics of the school." In addition, districts are instructed to devise plans for "increasing individualized assistance and intervention for each of their D and F schools at "increasingly intensive levels so long as the school continues to be so designated." Most recently, plans statewide have emphasized volunteers as the source for assistance to failing schools.
