Office of Innovation and School Reform
In alignment with the New York State Education Department’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CR-SE) Frameworks, the Office of Innovation and School Reform (OISR) remains committed to providing targeted technical assistance and support to Schools under Receivership in ensuring all students’ equitable access to high quality educational programs and Social Emotional Learning-based (SEL) services in a safe space.
As you know, OISR’s performance management and reporting schedule includes, but is not limited to, the submission of quarterly progress reports. Such key information assists the school and district community, Commissioner, and Board of Regents in determining the extent to which schools are on track to achieve their Demonstrable Improvement Indicator (DIIs) targets and the extent to which such data are used to monitor and adjust the improvement planning process and related plan implementation.
As such, attached is the 2023-2024 Receivership School Final Report and 2024-2025 Continuation Plan template districts will use to report and reflect on progress toward the implementation and utility of the application of key strategies toward meeting Demonstrable Improvement Indicator (DII) targets.
As was outlined in the August 22, 2023, 2023-2024 Performance Management, Technical Assistance and Reporting (Guidance Memo), the timeframe for activities to be included in the Final Report is May 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024. The Quarter 4 submission due date is July 22, 2024. Quarterly Reports should be submitted to OISR@nysed.gov, copying to the district’s Lead OISR Liaison.
Please feel free to contact your Lead OISR Liaison and/or email OISR@nysed.gov for related supports. Thank you for your continued collaboration as we maintain our focus on creating and sustaining safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environments for ALL students.
