    SUBJECT:	LS-17-### Data Release and Appeals Process

    DATE:		September 20, 2017

    As you know by now, the Assessment Technical Advisory Committee retained by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to review assessment results each year determined that the 2017 Algebra I and English II assessments were not suitable for establishing assessment performance trends.  DESE has modified the release schedule for the 2017 LEA level APR .

    TENTATIVE DATES AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

    The 2016-17 data (numerator, denominator, and rates) are posted for parts of Standard 3, and all of Standards 4 and 5.  This information will be available as districts certify the June MOSIS cycle of data.

    DESE released additional information including the following files for downloading, posted under Quick Facts, State Assessment:
        -- Student test data file
        -- MAP score invalidation (students without a valid score on the assessment)
        -- Achievement Level data for 2017

    Interactive reports - posted under Guided Inquiry, State Assessment

    The appeals window and data corrections for the End-of-Course assessment for Biology and American Government ONLY will be open until September 22.

    As in years past, the Department will provide APR results to the media (embargoed) soon after districts receive their final APR, hold a press conference, and publicly issue a news release for the final APR.  Dates will be determined closer to the release and be communicated to districts in early summer.

    The Department will provide a release calendar for the building level APRs at a later date.
