February 2016 SBE Information Memoranda on Accountability and Continuous Improvement (http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/pn/im/infomemofeb2016.asp)
Here is the list of Feb 2016 memos on accountability which will be reviewed at the March State Board of Education(SBE) meeting. The state has yet to complete a state wide accountability system since the Local Control Funding Formula education reforms. With the passage of the Federal ESSA legislation, the state must create a state wide accountability system to comply with the Federal Standards.The memos contain information on the state accountability system and ESSA proposals. Please let us know if you have any issues with the links or retrieving the documents.
In preparation for the March 2016 SBE Item on Accountability, please review the following February 2016 Information Memoranda:
