The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), establishes requirements for State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) to prepare and disseminate report cards that provide information on State, LEA, and school performance and progress in an understandable and uniform format. This document is intended to assist SEAs and LEAs in implementing the report card requirements under Title I, Part A (Title I) of the ESEA. Report cards are an important resource for parents and other stakeholders, as they can use them to understand a school's challenges and successes. Information from report cards can be used to have targeted conversations about a child's school and can empower parents to be partners in their child's education. It is important for SEAs and LEAs to consider how parents and other stakeholders will be using these data and present information in a manner that is appropriate for the target audience. Although SEAs, LEAs, and individual schools are encouraged to consider this guidance in the development of their own guidelines and standards, SEAs, LEAs, and individual schools may develop alternative approaches that are consistent with applicable Federal statutes and regulations. Nothing in this document should be construed to prescribe a particular approach or limit or prohibit SEA, LEA, or school flexibility permitted in the ESEA. This document was previously published in September 2019. This document has been revised to reflect additional questions from stakeholders, changes in the Department's data collections, lessons learned from the Department's monitoring and technical assistance to SEAs, and updated resources and links. The Department has made minor technical changes throughout the document; updated 33 questions; added nine new questions; deleted one question that was only applicable to school year 2017-2018; updated appendix A; and deleted appendices B, C, and D because they presented out-of-date examples from State report cards.
