- Summary:
-
The Chancellor of the New York City Board of Education was required to set minimum standards of performance and establish the accountability plan for all schools in the city's decentralized school system. The system includes 32 community school districts. A 29-member commission, which held periodic one-day meetings, developed the standards for the accountability program's criteria that had been developed by the Chancellor. After the full commission set the goals and tasks, various staff working groups were formed to perform the data analyses and concept development for presentation to the full commission. City-wide means and distribution of achievement, the percentage of schools that would pass or fail particular standards, the improvement needed by the lowest performing schools, and the proposed standards' capacities to prepare students for graduation were analyzed. Schools are to be assessed annually, but are given three years to halve their deficits vis-a-vis each performance standard. The commission's final report ("Foundations for Academic Excellence") included recommendations on both minimum and progress standards as well as means of applying the universal standards. (TJH)
