Request for Public Comments on Reimagine Phase ESSA Plan Proposal

Beyond the current Rebuild Phase, which will end after the 2024-25 school year, the 东京热 (NYSED) has collaborated with stakeholders, consulted with educational experts, and reviewed feedback from the Restart and Rebuild Phases of New York State's accountability system to plan for the transition into the Reimagine Phase, which will begin in the 2025-26 school year using 2024-25 school year results. NYSED has prepared proposals to amend the accountability section of the New York State consolidated State plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).听

Incorporating input from educational experts and stakeholders, including public comment from a recent survey that closed on May 31, 2024, the proposed amendments include:听

  • Modifications to components from the two-year Rebuild Phase, such as accountability indicators, identification criteria, and exit criteria;听

  • Reintroduction of the elementary/middle level Growth and high school level College, Career, and Civic Readiness (CCCR) accountability indicators; and

  • Replacement of Chronic Absenteeism indicator with a new Attendance indicator.

NYSED is opening another public comment opportunity on these proposed amendments. Public comments can be emailed to ESSAComments@nysed.gov through鈥疻ednesday, July 31, 2024.听听听
