Per Rule 6A-1.094224, F.A.C., districts must add their district information to the uniform assessment calendar for the following year (i.e., 2019–20), submit the calendar for district school board approval, and then publish the approved, populated uniform assessment calendar on the district’s website and submit it to the department by October 1.

Performance Matters tests are only used in key EOC/NGSSS tested courses as progress monitoring to guide instruction and ensure student success on state mandated assessments. These are the only stand-alone assessments that the district is requiring for the 2019-2020 school year. All other assessments are embedded as part of daily curriculum and instruction activities and to place students at their appropriate level in onlines resources (example: Achieve3000/i-Ready Reading and Math). Optional assessments are also provided for schools to assign as needed to ensure the success of their students.

The board approved the 2018-2019 Uniform Statewide Assessment Calendar on September 6, 2018.

Approval of this agenda item will satisfy the district's obligations to approve a uniform assessment calendar to submit to the state.
