Accountability Feedback Survey Results Presented to the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education December 18, 2018
Background • Survey sent to Superintendents, principals and various stakeholder organizations in the state • Open from October 29th to November 16th (reminder sent November 12th) • 439 responses with at least one question answered beyond name • “Choice” type questions had a much higher response rate than open-ended suggestions • Small majority of respondents reported as being “Satisfied” or “Very Satisfied” with the new accountability system
Who responded to the survey? *Included MASC, MCPSA and MBAE
How valuable is the normative component (school percentile)?
How valuable is the criterion-referenced component (target percentage)?
What additional indicators should be included for non-HS? • Only 130 responses to this open question • Most frequent response was some variation of “None” (52) • Others mentioned included: • School climate/student feedback • Access to the arts • Educator attendance • Suspension • School spending • K-2 Accountability
What additional indicators should be included for high school? • Only 130 responses to this open question • Many of the same as non-HS • Additional ideas mentioned included: • Broader definition of advanced coursework • Postsecondary enrollment • Extra-curricular participation • 9th grade success
What else is on your mind? • Last question on survey was open for respondents to tell us anything about the new system. • Some more common themes: • N-size issues in small schools and participation • Chronic absenteeism is out of our control (excused absences) • Use of standardized testing • High-performing districts are penalized • Need consistency…we keep changing system • State funding for accountability
