NYS Education Department accountability system updates district's standing

May 4, 2023

The New York State Education Department has "restarted" the accountability system for the 2022-2023 school year based on student assessment data from the 2021-2022 school year. Our district is pleased to announce that under this restart, the schools and subgroups previously identified based on 2018-2019 state assessment data have met exit criteria. 

All schools in the district are now designated by the New York State Education Department for Local Support and Improvement. Under the accountability "restart," Local Support and Improvement replaces what was formerly known as "Good Standing," in an effort to focus on continuous improvement by weaving tools and resources of value into our practices.

I would like to extend appreciation to our hard working staff. The last several years have provided the opportunity to grow, reflect, and work together to advance our students forward. I am confident our current practices will be a springboard for future success, guided by a soon to be adopted 5-year strategic plan.
