STATE EDUCATION ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEMS Historical Profiles More recent accountability profiles are available from the Consortium for Policy Research in Education Introduction Alabama Maryland ... North Carolina Introduction The Resource Center on Educational Equity of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), in collaboration with the New England Comprehensive Assistance Center, has developed profiles of state education accountability systems. They are comprised of information about statewide content and student performance standards statewide student assessments criteria to determine whether schools and school districts are in need of improvement or eligible to receive rewards how school and district performance is publicized the provision of rewards to schools and school districts actions at the local level to assist schools in need of improvement achieve satisfactory status actions at the state level to assist both school districts and schools in need of improvement to achieve satisfactory status corrective actions where schools or school districts in need of improvement have not made adequate progress or failed to meet other criteria for improvement Several states have developed accountability systems on their own initiative, as part of their state school improvement planning. However, the standards, assessments, and other actions and processes referred to above also are required under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as amended by the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994. As reflected in these profiles, some states have integrated implementation of these requirements with their statewide accountability systems while others have separate systems in whole or in part.

Kentucky's Family and Youth Services Centers Break New Ground When teachers at Fairdale High School in Kentucky became concerned about a 14-year-old girl (whom we'll call Wanda), they turned to the school's new Youth Services Center. The center is one of 37 new school-based social service centers in the Louisville area, and one of 373 Family Resource and Youth Service Centers statewide created by the comprehensive 1990 Kentucky Education Reform Act. Wanda is a bright girl with a young child. She lives with her mother, more than 10 miles from school. At this crisis point, Wanda's home was filled with tension. She regularly left the house with her child late at night against her mother's wishes. Then she came home too tired to catch the school bus the next day for the long ride to Fairdale. Concerned about Wanda's severe attendance problemseven though Fairdale has a program specially designed for young parents, male and femalethe school wanted to intervene before they lost her. Concerned Intervention Dan Clemons, Fairdale's Youth Services Center coordinator, convinced Wanda and her mother to come in for some meetings. He arranged ongoing psychotherapy for the distressed young woman. During the course of their conversations, the therapist discovered that Wanda was a victim of sexual abuse from within the family.
