Committee told DEW rule changes will be rated on September report card; data collected for two years
Summary
A senator asked whether Department of Education and Workforce rule language meant districts would be rated on requirements that had not yet taken effect. A DEW representative told the committee the measures have been collected for two years and will first be rated on the report card issued in September.
A senator asked the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review whether a Department of Education and Workforce rule would be applied to the 2024-25 school year or begin in 2025-26, noting the rule language referenced the 2024-25 year even though the rule's effective date comes later.
A Department of Education and Workforce staff member told the committee that the measures in question have been collected by districts and the department for two years and "these will be rated on the report card that comes out in September." The staff member said the September report card would be the first year the measures are rated as part of a district's overall rating.
The committee followed up to confirm the measures had been collected for two years but that this would be the first year they would affect the reported rating. No formal action was taken on the rule at the meeting.
