Dept. of Public Instruction: Publishes public and choice school and district report cards for the 2020-21 school year

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction today published public and choice school and district report cards for the 2020-21 school year, as required by Wis. Stat. 115.385. Both federal and state law require DPI to annually release accountability reports, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these report requirements were suspended for the 2019-20 school year. Because of ongoing pandemic impacts, the U.S. Department of Education again waived federal Every Student Succeeds Act accountability requirements for 2020-21 school year data. However, the Wisconsin State Legislature did not grant another suspension. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the DPI urges using caution when interpreting scores and ratings.
