Correction: DC School Report Card and STAR Framework Metric Calculation Confirmation Deadline
Please note that the correct deadline for Heads of School to certify Phase II MCC data is 5 p.m. this afternoon, Nov. 1.

In preparation for the public release of the new DC School Report Card in December, OSSE gave LEAs the opportunity to review and update the calculated value for each metric that will be publicly posted. This two-phase process, called Metric Calculation Confirmation, began on Sept. 10 and is ending today, Nov. 1. Heads of School must certify all of their Phase II data by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 1. Please note that due to tight deadlines to produce the DC School Report Card as scheduled, OSSE will be unable to grant any extensions.

For questions, please contact Donna Johnson, director of accountability, at (202) 316-4612 or [email protected] or Darrell Ashton, assistant superintendent of Data, Assessment, and Research, at (202) 531-6879 or [email protected].
