Â鶹ӰԺ

For the 2025–26 School Year and Beyond

Â鶹ӰԺ (Â鶹ӰԺ) has collaborated with stakeholders, consulted with educational experts, and reviewed feedback from the Restart and Rebuild Phases of Â鶹ӰԺ's accountability system to develop the Reimagine Phase, which begins in the 2025-26 school year using 2024-25 school year results.

On January 8, 2025, the United States Education Department (USED) approved amendments to the accountability section of the Â鶹ӰԺ Consolidated State Plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) for the Reimagine Phase.

• USDE Approval Letter for Amendments to Â鶹ӰԺ’s Consolidated State Plan under ESSA

Fact sheets, webinars, and other resources that provide information about the Reimagine Phase of the accountability system are available on the Â鶹ӰԺ School and District Accountability Resources and Data webpage.
