The Florida Department of Education Has Announced Its Appointment of Five Regional Executive Directors to Oversee Florida’s Differentiated Accountability Program (Student Services and Federal Programs Division)

The Florida Department of Education has appointed five Regional Executive Directors to oversee Florida’s Differentiated Accountability program. Florida is one of six states selected to participate in the U.S. Department of Education’s Differentiated Accountability program, which will provide 1,081 Florida schools with focused levels of support based on the school’s grade and the percentage of federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements it has missed for two or more consecutive years. Each Regional Executive Director was chosen based on their record of success in leading school improvement and reform efforts. The directors will work collaboratively with school staff and district leadership to provide focused support to help meet federal and state proficiency goals. Patricia (Gail) Daves is the Executive Director for Region Four, which includes Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS). The Region Four office, funded by the Florida Department of Education, will be housed at HCPS.

All Annual Goals and Critical Success Factors.

The Florida Department of Education has allocated $422,085 to support the Region Four office in HCPS.

HCPS will coordinate with the Region Four management to evaluate the process used by the project to monitor the activities of districts within Region Four.
