Accountability System
•Criteria
–Based on State academic standards and State assessments
–Include sanctions and rewards
•Adequate Yearly Progress
–Single system for all public schools
The Accountability system requirements do not align as closely with our current system, especially since state law requires the state accountability system to be revised this fall.  NCLB requires a system to be based on the state academic standards and assessments, and to include sanctions and rewards.  The system must be based on Adequate Yearly Progress for all schools.
