School Accountability
Plan Outline

The School Accountability Plan Outline is a working draft of a plan to implement a system of school accountability that conforms to the requirements of both Act 238 (Session Laws of Hawaii 2000) and the federal "No Child Left Behind Act" of 2001. The system proposed in this plan will make the State and schools accountable for the achievement of their students to ensure that children meet the State's revised Hawaii Content and Performance Standards (HCPS). The goal of the plan is to have all children, overall and in the required subgroups, meet HCPS proficiency standards by the 2013-14 school year.
