ESEA Waiver Update All States must re-submit their waiver to extend for
two more years (2015-16 & 2016-17) or until ESEA is reauthorized.
Kansas will re-submit in January 2014. We will make any changes or amendments to our
waiver during this process. Two optional amendments:
No double testing during 2013-14 for students taking the SBAC field test.
Use of student growth measures to inform personnel decisions in 2016-17

College and Career Ready means an individual has the academic
preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, and
employability skills to be successful in postsecondary
education, in the attainment of an industry recognized
certification or in the workforce, without the need for
remediation.

The August 6th meeting established the following with regard to a summative state assessment:
Should meet the Kansas definition of College and Career Ready. Should be geared toward helping students obtain post-
secondary readiness and job-market skills. Should be focused on students. Should assess all students. Should be meaningful and motivational to students. Districts should have options for a vetted/benchmarked
assessment.

A subset of the KCCRAAC met again August 28 to draft a plan based on conversations from the August 6 meeting . The group identified four possible paths forward:
1. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium for 3-8 and H.S. (CETE will score, administer, and report) 2. Assessment Vendor, e.g. ACT for 3-8 and H.S. 3. Hybrid Assessment Model (i.e., the state will provide a default assessment and allow districts if they so choose to use another USED approved assessment funded by the district) 4. CETE-developed Assessment for 3-8 and H.S

A final meeting was held on September 3rd during which #3 was chosen as a path to pursue:
1. Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium for 3-8 and H.S. 2. Assessment Vendor, e.g. ACT for 3-8 and H.S. 3. Hybrid Assessment Model (i.e., the state will provide a default assessment and allow districts if they so choose to use another USED approved assessment funded by the district) 4.
