Accountability Update
High School API
 Technical Design Group (TDG) and Public School
Accountability Act (PSAA) Advisory Committee

Advisory Committee’s findings and may bring the
recommendation to the May SBE meeting.

will be given in the spring 2015. The CDE will use
these results to produce a 2015 Base API.

High School AYP
 AYP will be calculated for high
schools. CDE is in negotiation to
remove API from AYP components for
high schools. Regulations only require
one additional indicator. CA uses
graduation rate as an additional
indicator.
