In accordance with the U.S. Department of Education (USED) addendum to provide flexibility in accountability reporting requirements for the 2021-22 school year, please review the following:

NSPF Star Ratings
NSPF star ratings are not calculated for the 2021-22 school year in accordance with flexibility offered by the USED addendum for accountability. The State is required to provide index scores and calculate all indicators and measures for the NSPF to meaningfully differentiate schools. NSPF star ratings were last calculated for the 2018-19 school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chronic Absenteeism Rates
Chronic absenteeism data will be reported for the 2021-22 school year for federal and state reporting. The State chronic absenteeism rate is adjusted in accordance with Senate Bill 249 (2021) which states absences that are excused by a medical professional cannot count against a school's chronic absenteeism rate on the NSPF.

Potential Partial/Modified Reporting
Please note, context is provided for data sets that are incomplete due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This information is provided to assist in the understanding of the data sets impacted by the pandemic.
