Yesterday, the State Board of Education’s System Performance Accountability advisory groupmet at the Puget Sound ESD in Renton. The meeting was largely an opportunity to update members and receive feedback. Many of the updates were presented at the SBE meeting last month in Tumwater (you can read about that here).
The advisory group was also presented with a timeline for the accountability system. Here are some of the major action items:
March- OSPI’s Technical Advisory Committee to review proposed SBE Accountability Index
May- SBE finalizes draft Accountability Index
July- SBE finalizes proposal on OSPI Continuous Improvement Programs, including Innovation Zone, Academic Watch and recognition program
October- SPA advisory group drafts rule language on school improvement plans
December- SBE works with OSPI on advancing new state index to use in place of current NCLB system to identify AYP
Stay tuned as we continue to track this very important work.
