The North Carolina Deparlment of Public Instruction (NCDPI) has prepared the following Priority School Quality Review (PSQR) to assist the
School Improvement Grant (SIG) / Priority School with the five-year planning process. SIG Schools typically receive 2 PSQRs during each year
of the grant cycle. However, the scheduling of on.site visits may be adjusted according to school / LEA need. PSQRS are completed by an
assigned Quality Reviewer (QR) from the Federal Program Monitoring and Support Division at NCDPI.

PSQRs are designed to monitor the SIG School transfomration process. Qualrty Reviewers use information provided in NCStar@, in addition to
data gathered from the on-site visit, to complete a PSQR. The PSQR provides feedback regarding a school's current status in addressing NCStar@
Key Indicators, which have been cross walked to meet the ESEA/ESSA/SIG Reform Model Components. Next to each indicator, the rating the
school initially gave itself is noted. The Quality Reviewer then has the option to check Progress Noted (PN) or check Reviss hdicqtor (.RJ). If an
indicator is checked (PN), this indicates that the QR agrees with the school's assessment, planning, and level of monitoring documented in
NCStar@. If an indicator is checked (RI), the school level planning team should review and revise the school's assessment, planning, and/or level
of monitoring documented in NCStar@. Additionally, PSQRs include budget reviews, summary comments, and recommendations from the on-
site visit. The final page of the PSQR report will have comments from the State SIG Coordinator regarding a variety of topics relevant to the SIG
program.
