Public Schools
The
upload for this year is very similar to last year (6 items) but also includes the 500 series
policies for student discipline and the Annual and Continual notice.
This is included this year since there have been changes to the CTE
service areas and they need to be sure to update those on the Annual
notice. The other item for all public schools is evidence of
discussion/review of course enrollment data. Evidence in trends in course enrollment that reflect not only gender, but race, SES,
special education and language barriers should be uploaded.
Nonpublic Schools
The non-pub audit is going to be a quick up-load. You are correct about the program of study at each grade band level. The calendar and staff information review will come from other reports in SRI and Fall BEDS Staff reports. They don't have to upload the 500 series policies related to student discipline. The trick is remembering to upload the class schedules for elementary so I can check art, music and PE. The other thing to watch is to be sure that all elements of the health matrix are taught at some point in time during, same for MS. The middle school only need to do the health and career info. matrices.
