Accountability Indicators 2015-2014 School Report Card
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was amended by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) had the goal of all students being proficient by 2014. Because of the rising number of schools across the nation that were judged inadequate by NCLB, the U.S. Department of Education invited states to seek a waiver for flexibility. Flexibility was approved for the second time in June of 2015. Once Congress reauthorizes the ESEA, the flexibility will no longer be valid. 2014-2015 will be the first year for schools to participated in the new PARCC assessments. Scores should be released in November. Flexibility documents may be viewed online at http://www.arkansased.org/esea-flexibility
