Guiding Questions for Remaining

Recommendations
1. Are people more essential than other non-staff items in
eliminating opportunity gaps?
2. While reducing the budget, how can we continue our goal to
address opportunity gaps?
3. Because we will need to reduce school funding, how should
we identify schools that need the most help/funding?
4. How do we ensure bang for the buck with fewer
resources?

Equity Tier Calculation Methodology

Seattle Public Schools is committed to improving equitable outcomes and eliminating opportunity
gaps for historically underserved student groups, which includes African American males and
other Students of Color, and students from Low Income families.
To protect highly impacted schools from undue harm due to annual fiscal shortfalls, SPS has
developed a method to identify schools that serve large numbers and/or high proportions of
historically underserved student groups, and for which the achievement of these students is
significantly below district averages.
What student groups are considered in the calculation?

The Equity Calculation considers data for 4 historically underserved student groups:
Students of color = African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, and Pacific Islander students
Low income students = students who qualify for free or reduced priced meals
Low income students of color = students of color who qualify for free or reduced priced meals
African American males
Although some students are included in more than one of these groups, examining data for each of these
separately helps to examine the combined effects of race, poverty and gender on historical opportunity gaps.
What measures are included?

The Equity Calculation calculates 3 types of measures for each historically underserved student group:
Total count of students tested based on the ELA Smarter Balanced assessment over the last 2 years
Percent of students tested based on the ELA Smarter Balanced assessment over the last 2 years
Percent meeting standard based on the ELA Smarter Balanced assessment over the last 2 years
(Note: for percent meeting standard, the lower the result, the higher the equity factor)
Calculating 3 measures for each of the 4 groups yields a total of 12 measures for each school
How Equity Tiers are determined based on Measures

The Equity Calculation identifies 4 Equity Tiers from the 12 data points calculate for each school:
Step 1: Each of the 12 measures is converted to a standard deviation based on district averages
Step 2: Schools receive 1 point for each measure that exceeds the district average by 1 standard deviation
Step 3: Total points (0-12) are summed and the following table is consulted:
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
Tier 4
6 to 9 points
4 to 5 points
1 to 3 points
0 points
Tier 1 schools are considered to be the most highly impacted and are prioritized for protection. Tier 2 schools
may in some cases be protected depending on budget projections. The total points may serve as a tiebreaker.
