11. Accountability Report to SBE Item 2 (Cont.) The SBE approved a design for the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) evaluation rubrics that include the following key indicators: • Student test scores on English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA) and Math, including a measure of individual student growth for grades 3-8, when feasible; • Results on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) assessment, when available; • Progress of English learners (ELs) toward English language proficiency; • High school graduation rate; and • Measures of student engagement, including suspension rates by grade span and chronic absenteeism, when available. • A methodology for calculating performance by combining outcome (status) and improvement (change) for the key indicators in order to differentiate performance at the local educational agencies (LEAs) and school levels, and for student subgroups.

(See draft displays on the next three slides.)
