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.
