This memorandum provides information for states that plan to amend their Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) consolidated state plan and identifies technical assistance resources. The State accountability system, including the requirement to assess all students, and the requirement to annually publish extensive information on State and local report cards are critical levers to provide parents, families, educators, and policymakers useful data about student and school performance to target resources and focus school improvement strategies. This information will help states as they work to re-establish and implement statewide accountability systems, as required under ESEA, and provide additional resources and supports to districts, schools, and students to enable a durable, equitable educational recovery.
