State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP): Phase III, Year 3
West Virginia Department of Education
The State Systemic Improvement Plan (SSIP), WV GRADUATION 20/20, was implemented during the 2015-2016 academic school year beginning with sixty-nine (69) schools in thirty-six (36) counties representing fifty-nine (59) percent of West Virginia's high schools. During the 2016-2017 academic year the number of high schools has grew to seventy-two (72) and the cohort included twenty (20) middle schools bringing the total to ninety-two (92) schools in forty-one (41) counties. The success of the program has led to the growth of participation during the 2017-2018 academic school year. The number of participating schools has grown to 103 schools in forty-one (41) counties. The Cohort now includes 74 High Schools, 23 Middle Schools, 6 Elementary Schools, and 2 Alternative Centers. Due to the increase of participating schools, both the original and additional self-referred schools are at different stages of implementation within both frameworks. The implementation model utilized by West Virginia between 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 was to partner with the eight (8) Regional Education Service Agencies (RESAs) to execute the SSIP WV GRADUATION 20/20. This model was based on eight (8) Regional School Support Specialists (RS[superscript 3]s) who worked directly with local education agencies (LEAs) and schools to implement the Frameworks through coaching. Phase III, Year 3 of WV's State Systemic Improvement Plan has been one to revisit, review, reorganize, and revise. Changes have affected all aspects of the SSIP's infrastructure including governance, quality standards, accountability, fiscal, and professional learning. School Year 2018-2019 has been one of change for both the local education agencies (LEAs) and the state education agency (SEA). West Virginia will continue to adjust its SSIP to increase graduation rates and decrease dropout rates for students with disabilities.
