Assessment and Accountability Newsletter

Subscribe  to the Assessment and Accountability Newsletter.

The Assessment and Accountability Newsletter is designed by the Office of Educational Accountability (OEA) specifically to communicate important and relevant information related to assessment and accountability with districts, schools, and educators. Newsletters are produced during peak times throughout the school year: early fall, late fall, mid winter, and late spring. The contents of each newsletter will provide relevant information and resources for that portion of the school year. While the content will change throughout the school year, the format will remain the same.
