What happened

The state labeled Fork Lane Elementary 'Additional Targeted Support and Improvement' for Hispanic students. It labeled Hicksville Middle School 'Potential Targeted Support and Improvement' for English learners. The state denied the district's appeals.

Why it matters to families

These federal accountability labels mean test results for these student groups were low. The schools must make improvement plans and the district must tell families.

The evidence

Minutes list both designations, say English scores were a likely cause, and say the state denied the appeals. The district must also develop improvement plans and surveys.
