Description

This session will explore how ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) accountability metrics can empower school board members to better serve their communities. Attendees will gain an understanding of how to interpret key performance indicators such as academic achievement, graduation rates, English language/math proficiency, and school climate data. More importantly, the session will focus on how these data points can be used to guide decision-making, set goals, and ensure transparency in policy implementation. This presentation will also highlight the vital role board members play in communicating performance outcomes to the public and advocating for continuous improvement.
