Agenda Item Summary:
|
The goal of this Board Brief is to review the new Virginia Accreditation accountability system. As discussed with the Board on January 11, February 22, and September 13 2018, the Virginia Board of Education (VBOE) approved changes to the State’s Accreditation Accountability system in November 2017. In summer 2018, Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) determined schools’ Accreditation statuses by running their SY 17-18 data through both the old and new Accreditation systems. Schools’ final Accreditation statuses were assigned based on the highest status received from either system. ACPS had four schools receive full Accreditation status based only on the old Accreditation system. These schools were: Douglas MacArthur, Matthew Maury, Mount Vernon, and George Washington. Starting this summer, performance data from SY 18-19 will be used only within the new Accreditation system for the calculation of school Accreditation statuses assigned in the fall 2019.

|
Background:
|
The changes adopted by the VBOE to the Accreditation system were significant in scale. The impetus for change was pointed toward providing a more comprehensive picture of school quality while driving continuous improvement for all schools through the new system. To achieve these aims, the new system incorporates a wider breadth of indicators than the previous system and also has provisions which recognize student growth for discrete indicators.

Recommendation:
|
The Superintendent recommends the School Board review this Board Brief and PowerPoint attachment to ensure an understanding of the new VDOE Accreditation accountability system.
