Comments on ESSA Implementation: Regulation, guidance, and technical assistance must ensure that low-income communities, communities of color, the disability community, immigrant communities, and tribes are included in decision-making; the Department should propose regulations that ensure that state accountability systems are driven by the performance of groups of students and that support and intervention systems are developed with stakeholders and are implemented to raise achievement for consistently low-performing groups of students; assessments should not be an excuse to provide vulnerable students with lower quality assessments or obscure disparities in student outcomes; If supplement not supplant is to allow greater flexibility in demonstrating compliance, it must presume and ensure an equal base of actual per-pupil funding before any federal funds can be considered supplemental; and all publicly reported data should be available and understandable to students, parents and communities to help inform their participation in decision-making.

Comments on ESSA Implementation: Regulation, guidance, and technical assistance must ensure that low-income communities, communities of color, the disability community, immigrant communities, and tribes are included in decision-making; the Department should propose regulations that ensure that state accountability systems are driven by the performance of groups of students and that support and intervention systems are developed with stakeholders and are implemented to raise achievement for consistently low-performing groups of students; assessments should not be an excuse to provide vulnerable students with lower quality assessments or obscure disparities in student outcomes; If supplement not supplant is to allow greater flexibility in demonstrating compliance, it must presume and ensure an equal base of actual per-pupil funding before any federal funds can be considered supplemental; and all publicly reported data should be available and understandable to students, parents and communities to help inform their participation in decision-making. The test of regulations, guidance, technical assistance and other implementation activities must be whether or not they advance educational equity and serve the interests of all students.
