3


Collective Local and State Accountability

• Student accountability• Parent responsibility• Teacher and leader accountability• Elected school board accountability• Higher education accountability• Educator preparation provider accountability• State accountability

4


Transitioning to a New Accountability System

• What are the primary goals and purposes of the new accountability system?

• What local and state multiple measures and data are available, valid, reliable, and useful as we phase in a new accountability system?

• What technical issues and additional analyses will need to be addressed in developing a valid set of indicators?

5


Transitioning to a New Accountability System

• How will data from multiple measure reflecting the state priorities be combined to differentiate the schools and districts needing technical assistance?

• How will the accountability system provide status and growth information?

• How will information on how well schools and districts are performing and making satisfactory progress be determined?

6


Key Purposes of New Accountability System

• Support continuous improvement by LEAs• Provide well-timed and actionable data for

use by educators, parents, community members and policymakers to strengthen local accountability.

• At the state level, differentiate the performance of districts and schools that need support and technical assistance.

7


Local Control Funding Formula Principles

• The LCFF fundamentally changed how California funds Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) and holds them accountable for student success.

• California now funds school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education equally per student with adjustments based on grade levels and student characteristics.

• LCFF replaces complicated, restrictive system with local flexibility, equity, transparency, and performance.

8


LCFF Accountability Components• Districts develop, adopt and implement 3-year

Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) to improve student performance.

• Beginning in 2015, districts provide annual updates on progress toward student goals.

• Concurrently, CA adopted a new system of support and technical assistance for districts and counties, guided by evaluation rubrics.

• Builds on a continuous improvement model of accountability.

9


Local Control and Accountability Plans

• Tightly connected finance and student outcome system

• Continuum of Connections: Needs Assessment Goals Resource Alignment Services Student Outcomes

• Situated in a developing, new accountability system for California

• State priorities are the foundation for the LCAP

• Serve as a resource that LEAs find useful to guide reflections and provide helpful ideas to support students.

• Support continuous improvement process focused on student-level outcomes.

15

• To assist County Offices of Education to identify school districts and charter schools in need of technical assistance

• To assist the State Superintendent in identifying school districts for which intervention is warranted

• To reflect a holistic, multidimensional assessment of school district and individual school site performance and include all of the state priorities

• To include standards for school district and individual school site performance and expectation for improvement in regard to each of the state priorities
