9/10/18 DAC Email - Elementary

Good morning.  Please see below for information related to the DAC email.

Quality Control (QC) Day is confirmed for Thursday, September 13. The purpose of the QC Day is to identify systematic issues in accountability data prior to any public release. During QC Day, DACs will receive preliminary Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) and Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) identifications. Data are being reviewed for systematic issues, and if issues are found, it could change an individual school’s classification. This will be the last viewing of data prior to the embargoed release to districts. Public release of accountability data is scheduled for late September.
 
QC Day will begin at 9 a.m. ET with a webcast. The schedule for the day is below.
