The State Board of Education approved an Accountability Reporting Policy on October 1, 1998 based upon the belief that reporting public school performance to the residents of the local district and to the Department of Education is critical to improving the quality of education in Nebraska. The policy stipulates that the information reported should:
ü Make the school district
accountable to the public,
ü Assist the school district’s
board of education and administration in focusing programs and resources, and
ü Support local efforts to
provide improved services and programs to students.
Although the design of said report is left to the
discretion of the local school district, the State Board of Education policy
encourages school districts to report the information described on the
following pages. This helps to assure
consistency from school district to school district, which is especially important
for information forwarded to the Department of Education.
Information on student achievement, school system
performance, school district resources for instructional support, and financial
resource allocation and expenditures are to be reported both locally and to the
State Department of Education. Student
and program data and school improvement goals and progress are to be reported
to patrons of the local school district only.
