State Compensatory Education Report, 2019-2020. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
The State Compensatory Education (SCE) program is designed to reduce dropout rates and increase academic performance of students identified as being at-risk of dropping out of school. SCE operates as a funding source to supplement instructional services and offer academic support to students who meet the SCE at-risk criteria established by the state. Funds allocated under SCE law are to be channeled toward programs and services that eliminate disparities in performance on assessment instruments administered under Texas Education Code. Further, programs designated for SCE funding should reduce disparities in the rates of high school completion between students who are at-risk of dropping out of school and all other students. In order for SCE funds to be allocated to a campus, the campus must not only meet the state criteria for percent of students at-risk of dropping out of school, but the services provided to students must also be described in the district and/or campus improvement plan. The annual budget for SCE programs in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) for the 2019-2020 academic year was $115,565,863.55. This figure included $41,891,879.07 of supplemental campus-based funds. These amounts are budgeted amounts and not final expenditures for 2019-2020. The purpose of this report is to describe and evaluate the SCE-funded programs in HISD as required by law.
