Common use of DPS School Performance Framework (SPF) Clause in Contracts

DPS School Performance Framework (SPF). Each School shall annually Meet Expectations or Exceed Expectations on the DPS School Performance Framework or make adequate progress towards this objective. Each School, as identified by a CDE supplied school number will receive a separate official SPF rating and no subdivision of the School shall receive a public rating. If a School’s grade configuration or population is such that they are issued a DPS Alternative School Performance Framework or DPS Early Education School Performance Framework in lieu of the traditional SPF, these results will be used to evaluate the School’s academic performance. The Network will have the ability to review each School SPF prior to its release and provide comments on accuracy, access to student level data, and access to the rubrics outlining how SPF metrics are calculated. i. If the School Performance Framework is not available on a timeline to inform accountability processes, the District will set targets based on available data that are equally rigorous to the target of Meeting Expectations on the prior year's SPF. ii. For the purposes of this Contract, the District and Network have mutually agreed to the performance benchmarks for each School that shall constitute adequate progress towards meeting SPF expectations, which are set out in the school-specific attachments.
