Timeline

Contract for Excellence regulations indicate that the contract plan should result in at least a 10% gain in the percent of the target group students achieving the state standards. The target group students are those at the identified schools that did not meet their benchmark for annual progress, denoted by the State Education Department as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

The timeline of our 2026-27 Contract for Excellence activities is available for download.
