*Targeted Achievement Gap Group (TAGG):

Students at risk due to economic disadvantage,

English Learner (EL) status or Students with

Disabilities (SWD) .

The U.S. Department of Education staff reviewed and

approved Arkansas’s “ESEA Flexibility Accountability

Addendum." The addendum provides comprehensive

information regarding the Arkansas’s system of

differentiated recognition, accountability and support. It

outlines the process for determining status of schools and

districts based on expected performance gains for

student achievement and the secondary indicators.

ESEA Flexibility was approved by the U.S. Department

of Education in 2012 and was amended July 10, 2013.
