California Dept. of Education Releases new Groundbreaking Accountability System

On March 15, 2017, a new system called the California School Dashboard went live to show how districts and schools are performing over time on about a dozen state and local school district indicators.  The statewide measurements include academic scores for students in English and math, rates for suspensions, graduation, English learner progress and college/career readiness.  Local indicators include school climate, parent engagement and implementation of the new state curriculum standards.
 
A two-minute illustrated video on the California School Dashboard, developed by the Association of California School Administrators, is available at: Video by ASCA - CA School Dashboard.
 
The Dashboard is the next step in series of major shifts in public education as a result of 2013's Local Control Funding Formula. California has raised the bar for student learning, transformed testing and placed the focus on equity for all students.
