NJ Quality Single Accountability Continuum
The Commissioner is proposing to readopt with amendments the rules at N.J.A.C. 6A:30, Evaluation of the Performance of School Districts for the 2009-2010 school year to implement a monitoring and evaluation system for public school districts and county vocational school districts. In addition, District Performance Reviews (DPRs) for each of the five key components of school district effectiveness have been developed specifically for county special services school districts.
The following is the Summary Memo, which describes each change to the rule text and each of the DPRs, the rule text, DPRs for public school districts and county vocational school districts and finally, DPRs for county special services school districts. The DPRS are attached as Appendix A ( for use by public schools and county vocational school districts) and Appendix B (for use by county special services school districts). Please note that within the proposed amendments, additions are underlined and deletions are bracketed.
Districts that will undergo the QSAC process in 2009-10 should use the proposed DPRs in Appendix A (all districts except special services districts) or Appendix B (special services districts). Excel versions of these DPRs will be provided to districts through the county offices of education.
Appendix A: District Performance Reviews (public school districts and county vocational school districts)
