Compliance and Data Reporting
Fundamentally, ESSA is about creating a set of interlocking strategies to promote educational equity by providing support to districts and schools as they work to ensure that every student succeeds. New York State is committed to ensuring that all students succeed and thrive in school no matter who they are, where they live, where they go to school, or where they come from.
A list of helpful links related to ESSA compliance and data reporting are available below:
Annual Neglected and Delinquent Facility Resident Count Survey
The purpose of the Annual Neglected and Delinquent Facility Resident Count Survey is to provide the U.S. Department of Education and the New York State Education Department with current information on the location and number of children living in institutions for neglected or delinquent children or in correctional institutions. The information will be used to compute the following year's Title I, Part D Neglected or Delinquent allocations for school districts so that eligible children in the institutions can be provided Title I-funded educational services.
Compliance Monitoring
New York State Education Department staff monitor for compliance and provide technical assistance related to the programmatic and fiscal requirements under many of the ESSA-funded programs.
Equitable Services for Nonpublic Schools
Equitable Services for Nonpublic schools under Sections 1117(a)(4)(C) and 8501(a)(4)(C) of the Every Student Succeeds Act requires that each State educational agency shall provide notice in a timely manner to the appropriate private school officials in the State of the allocation of funds for educational services and other benefits that the local educational agencies have determined are available for eligible private school children.
Information about substantial equivalency of instruction is available here.
Financial Transparency
Building-level financial transparency under ESSA will help those interested in education learn more about the equity and effectiveness of our federal, state, and local educational resources. It is critical that we maximize every dollar to provide the best opportunities and improve outcomes for our students. Fiscal transparency reports outline how much each school is spending per student and the source of the funds. These fiscal transparency reports were issued for the first time in 2020 for the 2018-19 school year, and annual releases will be available after April 1st in each subsequent year. At the district level, they will inform conversations within districts about whether equitable resources are being provided at the school level. At the state level, these reports will help inform future Board of Regents State Aid requests and other policymaking decisions.
New York State Public Data Reporting
The New York State Education Department is committed to making data available and easy to use. Our public data website provides data on high school graduation rates, grades 3-8 test scores, and school report cards.
