2021 Division 22 Resources Available

Dear Superintendents,

My name is Susan Payne, and I facilitate the Division 22 Assurances Process as part of my work as ODE’s Education Standards and Systems Specialist. I am writing to follow-up on ODE Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Patterson’s August 17 letter regarding Division 22 Assurances. I know that this email comes during a busy time, just as the new school year is getting underway. We want to ensure you have the information and resources needed to plan for completion of the 2021 Assurances process.

As a reminder, the Division 22 Assurances process includes three steps, summarized below, along with the 2020 timeline:

By November 1, 2021: School district superintendents report to their local School Board the district’s compliance with all Division 22 Standards for the 2019-20 school year.
By November 1, 2021: School districts post the report to their websites.
By November 15, 2021: School districts complete and submit the annual Division 22 Assurances Form.

We are providing this information to you now with the recommendation that you plan to include the Division 22 Report on your local School Board’s October agenda in order to meet the November 1 deadline.

To support school districts in completing the Assurances process, ODE has provided the following resources, which can be accessed from the Division 22 webpage:

Division 22 Report Template that meets WCAG 2.0 accessibility criteria and is available in 6 languages in addition to English. (New for this year: districts are required to use the template provided by ODE.)
Online Submission Form that school districts must use to submit their assurances to ODE.
Report and Submission Form Instructions that explain how to complete the required Division 22 Community Report Template and how to submit assurances to ODE through the online submission form.
School Board Presentation Template that can be customized in order to communicate changes to Division 22 and to share the district’s Division 22 Report with the School Board (a PowerPoint version of the template is also available).
Recorded webinar (20 minutes) that walks you through the process for completing the Division 22 assurances for the 2020-21 school year; the slide deck from the webinar is also posted.
District Internal Tracking Sheet (use this link to make a copy for your own use).
