The Department of Public Instruction is developing a new accountability model to ensure that adults in schools are responsible for achieving challenging yet attainable goals for their students and that parents and the public have a clear, comparable understanding of the performance of students within North Carolina’s public schools. The goal is to institute an accountability model that improves student achievement, increases graduation rates and closes achievement gaps.
