Report to the North Carolina General Assembly: §115C-83.4A ~ Advanced Courses

In response to G.S.115C-83.4A, the NC Department of Public Instruction

(NCDPI) initially established the NC Advanced Placement Partnership (NCAPP)

in May 2014 with the College Board. The NCAPP is still underway and continues

with its purpose to broaden access and successful participation in advanced

coursework in NC’s public schools. According to G.S. 115C-83.4A, “it is the

intent of the State of North Carolina to enhance accessibility and encourage

students to enroll in and successful complete more rigorous advanced courses to

enable success in postsecondary education for all students.”

The NCAPP continues to respond to the legislation through various efforts.

Twenty-three NC school districts continue to participate in the NCAPP as

“targeted districts” with focused support and technical assistance. NCAPP also

provides state-wide support through professional development opportunities

open to all of the state, both face-to-face and online opportunities. In addition,

the General Assembly appropriated funds to pay for all AP and IB exams for

public school or charter school students who were enrolled in the corresponding

AP/IB courses beginning last year in 2014-15. College Board and the NCDPI are

continuing to work together on these various aspects to ensure continued

success of the NCAPP.

The NCAPP spearheads NC’s progress with AP course enrollment and AP exam

participation. The state’s most recent data from College Board shows

remarkable gains in 2014-15 with significant increase in exam participation and

success for all students.

• The number of AP Exam-Takers in North Carolina’s public schools

increased 18.7% from 2014 to 2015, as compared to a 6% increase in AP

Exam-Takers in public schools nationwide. In the 23 target NCAPP

1

Page 4: Report to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee · Report to the Joint Legislative Education Oversight ... with AP course enrollment and AP exam ... the Joint Legislative

districts, the number of students taking AP exams increased 17% in 2015

over the 2014 year.

• AP participation and performance for Black students in North Carolina’s

public schools continues to outpace the participation and performance for

Black students seen nationwide. The number of Black AP Exam-Takers in

North Carolina’s public schools increased 22.8% from 2014 to 2015, as

compared to a 3.6% increase in Black AP Exam-Takers in public schools

nationwide.

• AP participation and performance for Hispanic students in North Carolina’s

public schools continues to outpace the participation and performance for

Hispanic students seen nationwide. The number of Hispanic AP Exam-

Takers in North Carolina’s public schools increased 21.3% from 2014 to

2015, as compared to an 8.2% increase in Hispanic AP Exam-Takers in

public schools nationwide.

This success is a direct result of hard work by NC’s teachers and districts. With

NCAPP’s sustained efforts of professional development and technical

assistance, the State Board of Education and NCDPI expect continued progress

to increase access and successful participation in Advanced Placement courses

across NC and further meet the intent of the legislation.

Report Requirements

NCAPP Targeted Districts NCDPI and College Board invited low-performing districts to continue as part of

the NCAPP with focused participation. All of the 23 school districts who

participated last year decided to continue with the NCAPP for 2015-16. The

NCAPP State-Wide Efforts In addition to focused district support through professional development and

technical assistance, NCAPP continues to work with state-wide efforts as well. In

particular, select numbers of teachers from school districts across the state are

invited to participate in content-based professional development opportunities

throughout the year. Further state-wide efforts with regional technical assistance

through the SBE Areas and state-wide webinars to support systemic change and

program development have also been developed and shared.

NCDPI Response to NCAPP Report

NCDPI received the College Board’s NCAPP Annual Report in September 2015

with revisions in October 2015 based on an NCDPI request. The report reflects

the progress of the NCAPP over for the last year as well as exam performance

information.

NCDPI is pleased with the progress of the NCAPP and the Annual Report

submitted by College Board. The College Board is committed to serving NC

school districts and continues to partner with NCDPI to ensure effective

implementation.

Distribution of NCAPP Funding for AP and IB Exam Fees

For the payment of AP Exams, NCDPI paid College Board $10,638,285 to

support NC’s public school students and families. NCDPI and College Board

developed a state-wide invoicing system to facilitate effective payment and

lessen the burden of high schools and their districts.

NCDPI particularly notes the success of the initial implementation year of the

state-covered AP exam fees. Several new processes were developed and

implemented by the College Board, NCDPI, and all of the school districts and

high schools in NC. NCDPI appreciates the hard work of all involved to ensure

that students’ test fees were covered.

For the payment of IB Exams and Fees, NCDPI paid International Baccalaureate

Organization (IBO) $1,160,239 to support NC’s public school students and

families. NCDPI provided a guaranteed allotment (PRC 046) to school districts

to facilitate payment of IB Exam fee invoices. For the upcoming year, NCDPI is

working to establish a state-invoice system with IBO to better facilitate payment

and lessen the burden of billing on high schools and their districts.
