What is BAAC? — Building Accountability Advisory Committee — Mandated by Colorado Department of Education (CDE) — DAAC is the District Accountability Advisory Committee — Each school site has a BAAC, Building Accountability Advisory Committee (some schools go by a different name) — Purpose is to provide oversight and accountability for school performance — Be another link between the District and Parents, sharing information on important topics

School Performance Framework Generated annually for each school site and district — Measures student performance, graduation rates, and performance of historically — underserved students. Key Performance Indicators — Academic Achievement — Academic Growth — Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness — (Data comes from spring state testing: CMAS, PSAT , SAT) — Schools and Districts are accredited based on performance — Accredited with Distinction — Accredited — Accredited with Improvement Plan — Accredited with Priority Improvement Plan — Accredited with Turnaround plan — DAAC and BAACs review these reports as part of the accountability process —

Waivers for 2020-21 — In response to the evolving conditions under COVID-19, the department is pausing the state and federal accountability systems in the 2020-21 school year. District and school plan types will continue to implement their 2019 ratings for the 2020- 2021 school year. — Districts and schools will not receive a 2020 performance framework, nor updated plan types. — HOWEVER, D38 will continue to use local data (MAAP , NWEA testing) to monitor student progress
