Self-Assessment for 2019-20 School Year using 2018-19 Data
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and Commissioner’s Regulations §100.21(5)(b)(xviii) requires that all public schools and districts be included in the state accountability system and that a self-assessment of the academic program be done for schools and districts for which the 鶹Ƶ (鶹Ƶ or “the Department”) could not make an accountability status determination based on state accountability measures. This requirement pertains to schools/districts for which 鶹Ƶ cannot compute a Composite Performance Level for the “all students” accountability group because there are fewer than 30 results for continuously enrolled students during the prior two years combined, or any configuration of grades K through 12 that do not participate in the regular state assessment program. For self-assessment purposes, if there are fewer than 15 continuously enrolled students, results of all students in the school will be used to make an accountability status determination.
Eligible schools received a letter in December 2019 requesting submission of data.
