Re-thinking Ed Yes
December 5, 2007
Dear Friends,
The Education YES! school report card system was implemented shortly after the passage of No Child Left Behind to fulfill two purposes – school accreditation and adequate yearly progress (AYP) report requirements. Our state assessment system has undergone many changes in the intervening years, our state statutes have imposed some new accreditation requirements, and our school report card has become increasingly complex. I am writing to ask for your help to review and redesign the Education YES! system.
