Dear Ohio Educator:
The State Board of Education Accountability Committee is working on developing the new Local Report Card as outlined in HB555 and would like to hear from the Ohio education community about this important work.
The committee is meeting weekly to make recommendations about all key elements of the new report card system. By March, the committee will have a proposal for the 2012-2013 report card that the State Board and the education community will consider. The State Board is required to finalize a proposal into rules by June of this year.
The work of the committee includes discussion of the format of the report card which will be built upon an interactive online platform that will allow users to drill down for more detail about the district or school. You can see a very preliminary draft of how different information fields might be presented here.
This draft is a work in progress and we are pleased that many representatives of Ohio education organizations have been at our meetings. The committee is eager for additional input and welcomes comments about the level of detail that would be helpful for users, such as historical and trend data or comparisons to similar districts. Also whether there is other information a district would want to see that would allow schools to tell their stories?
The committee also is considering the methodology for calculating grades for each measure. Tentative decisions about these issues are detailed in weekly meeting summaries that you can find on the website. We would very much like to have your reactions to these discussions.
If you have questions or comments, send them to newreportcard@education.ohio.gov
Thank you for your time and commitment to the children of Ohio.
Tom Gunlock, Vice President, State Board of Education and chair of the SBOE Accountability Committee.
