Senate Bill 168 gap reduction targets
State law (KRS.158.649) requires school districts to set two-year targets for reducing achievement gaps. The Kentucky legislation, which originated and is commonly known as Senate Bill 168, took effect in July 2002.
Under these guidelines, "achievement gap" refers to a substantial difference in performance on any area of the Kentucky Core Content Test between the various groups of students in each grade level.
Under the watch of district-level directors and the superintendent, School-Based Decision Making Councils set their own schools' goals after identifying which gaps to target for closure.
