Overview

RULE:

6A-1.099812

Education Accountability for Department of Juvenile Justice Education Programs

PURPOSE:

To implement four additional components for the performance ratings now that the necessary data are available, and this will finalize the implementation of the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) accountability rating system. An appeals process is being implemented to align the DJJ accountability rating system with other school accountability system processes. Now that data for all required components are available, the current classification cut scores will be replaced by overall cut scores, and this change will make the DJJ accountability rating system results easier to interpret and consistent with other state education accountability systems. Lastly, this amendment will add a definition for “Employment” for clarification purposes.

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule will implement four additional components to the DJJ accountability rating system, making a total of 12 components. Three of the proposed components are based on Common Assessment data and one proposed component is a measure of grade advancement. The proposed rule also adds an appeals process for districts, and it revises the calculation from using classification cut scores for each component to using overall cut scores based on the overall percent of points earned out of the percent of points possible. The term “Employment” is defined to clarify the source of employment data for this accountability system.
