Safe Harbor:
The NCLB Contains a Safe Harbor Provision for alternatively meeting Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) when there is progress moving students from "Below Proficient" to "Proficient". A school, district or subgroup can make AYP through Safe Harbor Provisions if (1) the percentage of students below proficient decreases by 10% over the prior year, and (2) all other AYP criteria are met. For the final AYP reports, the California Department of Education will determine if Safe Harbor provisions apply to a school, district, or subgroup and will calculate whether or not the Safe Harbor provisions are met.
