Districts' Three-Year Gap-Closing Plans (SOA Plans), Including FY22 Amendments

The Student Opportunity Act calls for every district in the state to develop 3-year gap-closing plans, commonly referred to as SOA Plans. Please note that districts' 3-year gap-closing plans highlight a few evidence-based program areas they identified as key levers for closing opportunity gaps experienced by student groups they serve. These plans are not expected to reflect districts' comprehensive plans for improvement; if you are interested in a district's comprehensive improvement plan, we recommend visiting the district's website.

The Student Opportunity Act Dashboard is a searchable database that allows users to view individual districts' 3-year gap-closing plans. This dashboard integrates data from districts' original SOA plans and FY22 plan amendments. This Guide to the SOA Dashboard provides more specific details about data presented in each section of the dashboard.

Important Considerations When Reading District Plans.

• Data in the 3-year gap-closing plans, including anticipated FY22 budget resource allocations and implementation progress, are self-reported by districts.
• The FY22 budget tables in the plans are intended to reflect investments from multiple funding sources that districts are making to support the implementation of the evidence-based program areas in their plans.
• Please email SOAPlans@mass.gov to report any errors. Corrections will be reflected in any subsequent updates to the dashboard.

Note: Districts' original 3-year gap-closing plans (SOA Plans), submitted between April 2020 and January 2021, can be accessed on the Districts' Original 3-year Gap-Closing Plans page.
