[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soooo we are looking at exactly one year of accountability for charter schools before it is paused again? If I remember correctly the PMF was paused because there were no tests because of COVID, and then PCSB decided to use that time to make a new framework which is Aspire, which hasn’t even gone live yet. Next year it will be paused. [b]Am I correct that the last PMF/Aspire/accountability framework that was published and counted was with 2018-2019 data[/b]?

Meanwhile OSSE rolled out the DC School Report Card that measures essentially the same things and is already updated with the latest data.

You are correct. It's crazy that the PCSB can't figure out how to assess the progress of schools. Progress and accountability matter. I say this not only from the point of view of a parent but as a taxpayer and as a person working in education. The only way for the public right now to know which charters are low or mid or high performing is to watch PCSB reviews -- and that's only for the handful of schools being reviewed that year -- or work through all of the data OSSE releases or compare proficiency rates that EmpowerK12 releases on its data sites. If OSSE is the best place to go for information on school performance, and the PCSB continues to be behind, I'm not sure why they (PCSB/charters) just don't adopt OSSE's system.[/quote]
