The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) directs states to create report cards that are easy for parents and the public to access and understand. Additionally, states are required to provide more school-level data than ever before by highlighting multiple indicators of student performance, funding, teacher quality, post-secondary success, and more all in a parent-friendly format. The timeline presented in this report outlines the necessary steps toward creating an ESSA-compliant report card that is accessible and quality within a 12-month period. This timeline integrates four streams of interconnected work: feedback and engagement; design and content; data; and functionality and development. Resources are provided on each stream to look to for advice and information during the development process. The streams of work are presented in four phases: gathering of requirements; design and content development; building, testing and launch; and sustainability and enhancement.
