The legislation
requires the Department of Education to develop and implement a school
accountability system to measure school performance and student proficiency
beginning with the 2018-2019 school year and to provide an annual report of
the statewide and school-level results of the performance of schools and
proficiency of students in each of the State's elementary and secondary
schools that meet the reporting requirements of the federal Every Student
Succeeds Act of 2015, 20 United States Code, Chapter 70 and related
regulations. According to the
Department, accountability reporting requirements for the Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA) have not yet been established so the department does not
know if the requirements in this legislation exceed what will be required on
the federal level. Any requirements
that go beyond what is required under ESSA can not be funded with federal
dollars and will require General Fund support in order to be completed. |
