Introduction

The purpose of this survey is to solicit feedback on the draft proposal of Kentucky's school accountability system.  

The system is still evolving based on input from the public, educators, and others. After reviewing the PowerPoint or written overview of the system as it currently stands, please provide your feedback.

There will be an additional opportunity for public feedback on the proposed system once it is finalized by the Kentucky Board of Education and as part of the regulatory process for Senate Bill 1 (2017).

We are working to improve public education in Kentucky for Our Children, Our Commonwealth and appreciate your support, time and input as we move forward to maximize success for all students. Thank you!
