New High School Feedback Reports are available for review
The Kentucky Center for Statistics (KYStats) is providing High School Feedback Reports (HSFR) for the graduating class of 2017 for district review. The review window is through mid-July, with the public release planned for late July.
This year, districts are asked to review the report on college going and success for the graduates of 2016-2017. The report looks at college-going and first-year performance in 2017-2018.

If you do not have access, contact your district web apps administration point of contact (WAAPOC) to request rights to this application. District WAAPOCs are listed in the online school directory.
To access your district report, go to the KDE login site and click on “High School Feedback Reports (Secure).” To view or download the technical notes and user’s guides for the reports, click the document title below.

The Kentucky Department of Education wants to help families help their children fight summer reading and math regression. A new “Stride, Don’t Slide” flyer and website lists resources families can use this summer to help their children make strides while school is not in session. A Spanish version of the flyer also is available.
Teachers and librarians can help fight summer reading and math regression by building interest in the resources listed on the flyer with their students, and then sending the flyer home with students before school is out. The flyer also may be distributed by other stakeholders, such as family resource centers, educational cooperatives, and preschool and childcare providers, as well as local doctors’ offices. The website can be shared via social media channels.

The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is the official provider for the 2019-2020 Initial Certified Evaluation Training for administrators newly assigned to the role of evaluator of certified personnel. The two-day training, including the assessment, is required per KRS 156.557 and 704 KAR 3:370.
All new evaluators of certified personnel are required to attend. Visit the Principal Partnership Project website for information about dates and locations, and to register.
KDE also will provide a separate, one-day, six-hour update training for experienced administrators. Districts may choose to fulfill the requirement by applying for their own EILA certificates and providing the training in their district, but KDE is providing regional options for districts that choose not to do their own in-house training. Six hours of update training is required annually for all experienced administrators per KRS 156.557 and 704 KAR 3:370.
Any experienced evaluator of certified personnel who has completed the two-day Initial Certified Evaluation Training is qualified to attend. Visit the Update Evaluation Training webpage for more information about dates, locations and to register.
There is no fee to participate in either training and the appropriate number of EILA credit hours – six for the update or 12 for the initial – will be awarded. Multiple training sites are located across the state. Advance registration is required.
All trainings are 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. local time.
