Alternate Way of Meeting Proficiency

• Safe Harbor

Safe Harbor

• An LEA, school, or subgroup must show a decrease
  in the percentage of students below proficient by
  10 over the prior year to qualify for Safe
  Harbor
• http//www.cde.ca.gov/

Safe Harbor Option

• Becomes an option to meet AYP proficiency when
  the gap between the new AMO and the current level
  of proficiency is greater than 10
