Dear District Administrators and Choice School Administrators,
This e-mail is to notify you that Secure Preliminary Accountability Report Cards for schools and districts are now available in SAFE, the Secure Access File Exchange. As a preliminary and secure report, this information may not be shared with the public.
ALL Report Cards in SAFE are always considered secure - they are not redacted and contain potentially identifiable student data - and should not be shared with local media, parents, or other members of the public.
The public release of final accountability report cards is scheduled for Tuesday, November 12. At that time the public Accountability Report Card results will be widely available.
If you haven’t already obtained access to SAFE—and delegated access to the Accountability Report Cards in SAFE—please visit the WISEhome information page and follow the steps there. Please note that SAFE has been recently updated with a new look and feel. Our hope is this version is more user-friendly. As always, if you have any questions about accessing or using SAFE, please use the DPI help desk.
To ensure 2018-19 accountability reporting is as accurate as possible, this secure preliminary release initiates an inquiry process. If, upon review of your school or district’s Report Card, you identify a possible data submission error, submit an inquiry here.
To aid you in review of your secure and preliminary report card, OEA has created a Secure Release Checklist, available on the Accountability Resources page.
Inquiry forms are due before the end of the day Friday, October 11. By completing the short inquiry form, staff from the Office of Educational Accountability (OEA) can track and respond to all inquiries in a timely manner. This deadline is for submission of forms only; no evidence is due until OEA has an opportunity to contact your district about the inquiry.
If you have questions or comments, please contact the Office of Educational Accountability.
