California Accountability Model & School Dashboard
California’s new accountability and continuous improvement system provides information about how local educational agencies and schools are meeting the needs of California’s diverse student population based on a concise set of measures.
The state of California has developed a new accountability system, the California School Dashboard, that will report on the progress our District and our schools are making. The system can be accessed by visiting
www.caschooldashboard.org from any Web browser. Please take the time to review the video tutorial and fast start guide to better understand the new system.

These exciting changes taking place in education will take time to fully implement. The State is gradually rolling out additional measures. In the Fall, we will be adding college and career indicator results for our high schools as well as local reports detailing parent engagement and school climate. The California School Dashboard is integral to our continuous improvement efforts, and will be using the Dashboard in our ongoing conversations with our families and community.
