Directors  \nState Assessment Directors  \nState Directors for McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act: Education for Homeless Children and Youths Program  \nFROM: Ruth E. Ryder  \nDeputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Programs  \nOffice of Elementary and Secondary Education  \nSUBJECT: Updates Regarding Accountability Systems and ESEA Consolidated State Plans  \nThank you for your continued work to implement statewide accountability systems; publicly report extensive information on State and local report cards, as required under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA); and provide additional resources to schools designated for support and improvement. These systems are vital for improving outcomes for students and eliminating opportunity gaps. To support your work in these areas, I want to provide some reminders for this school year.  \nProducing timely accountability determinations and publishing State and local report cards  \nEach State has an obligation to finalize accountability determinations based on data from the 2022-23 school year in a timely manner. These determinations should occur in fall 2023, and the U.S. Department of Education (Department) strongly encourages each State to finalize its accountability determinations no later than December 1, 2023 . Finalizing accountability determinations in fall 2023 will provide designated schools sufficient time to develop and implement support and improvement plans consistent with requirements in ESEA section 1111(d) .  \nRelatedly, ESEA section 1111(h) requires States to annually publish State and local report cards, which must include information about school performance, including the State’s list of schools designated for support and improvement. While the ESEA does not require report cards to be posted by a particular time and we understand that it often takes a State into the fall to complete the data collection and analysis to publish report cards, the Department expects this to occur by the end of the calendar year. For this reason, each year the Department reviews State websites to see if the report cards are available and reviews a selection of the required elements. We will begin our review of State and local report cards for school year 2022-23 on January 15, 2024.  \nState plan amendments for school year 2023-2024  \nAs each State is finalizing its accountability determinations and school designations in the fall, we encourage you to consider whether you would like to revise your ESEA consolidated State plan to best identify and address the educational needs of your State’s students. All States must submit any proposed ESEA consolidated State plan amendments to the Department for review and approval before implementation. Amendments related to accountability determinations for fall 2024 based on data from the 2023-24 school year should be submitted no later than February 1, 2024; this will allow the Department to determine whether an amendment complies with applicable requirements in time for your State to implement those changes and make timely accountability determinations by December 1, 2024.  \nAdditionally, as a reminder, many States requested changes to approved ESEA consolidated State plans using the “2021-2022 Template for Addendum to the ESEA Consolidated State Plan due to the COVID-19 National Emergency”(COVID-19 State Plan Addendum) . Each State that received approval for long-term changes using the COVID-19 State Plan Addendum (e.g., shifted long-term goals, modified school identification timelines, and/or modified exit criteria) and that has not already","cbCaikuQObxF5GFC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikuQObxF5GFC","pdf",132139,"English","# Producing timely accountability determinations and publishing State and local report cards\n## Accountability determinations timeline\n## State and local report card publication expectations\n# State plan amendments for school year 2023-2024\n## Submitting amendments and key dates\n## COVID-19 State Plan Addendum updates\n## Required consultation and submission package","[{\"question\":\"What timeline does the Department encourage for finalizing accountability determinations in fall 2023?\",\"answer\":\"States should finalize accountability determinations based on 2022–23 data in fall 2023, strongly encouraged to complete no later than December 1, 2023.\"},{\"question\":\"When must State and local report cards be published for school year 2022–23?\",\"answer\":\"The Department expects publication by the end of the calendar year, and it will begin reviewing report cards on January 15, 2024.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key requirements and submission components for ESEA consolidated State plan amendments?\",\"answer\":\"States must submit proposed amendments for review and approval before implementation, consult with the Governor and allow reasonable public comment, and include a redlined plan, a cover letter, the chief officer signature, and a description of public comment opportunities.\"}]","Updates Regarding Accountability Systems and ESEA Consolidated State Plans | PDF",1792060403]
