Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI)
In 2018, Nebraska designated 27 schools for Comprehensive Support and Improvement. These schools completed a comprehensive needs assessment exposing the unique needs of their school system. Results from the needs assessment were then bridged into action with a 3-year plan for improvement.
The schools identified for CSI can be found here under AQuESTT Classifications.

Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) / Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI)
Beginning in the Fall 2019, the NDE will identify schools to receive Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) and Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI). TSI and ATSI are supports based on student group performance across all AQuESTT indicators. The student groups are comprised of the seven racial and ethnic groups (Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Asian, White, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native, two or more races), and students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students, and English learners.
The TSI designation process focuses on schools’ assets while ensuring learners and their needs are at the forefront of all decisions. Schools identified to receive TSI will complete a needs assessment and design a plan for continuous improvement tailored to meet the needs of designated student groups. The NDE is working with partners, such as ESUs, to develop resources to assist schools in planning for improvement for specific student groups.
Watch this recorded webinar to learn more about the designation process, requirements, and supports for schools identified for TSI and ATSI.
