The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and implementing regulations maintain requirements for State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs) to prepare and disseminate report cards that provide information on State, LEA, and school performance and progress in an understandable and uniform format. This guidance is intended to assist SEAs and LEAs in implementing the report card requirements under Title I, Part A of the ESEA and implementing regulations in 34 C.F.R. §§ 200.30 through 200.37. This guidance supersedes the U.S. Department of Education's (Department's) guidance entitled "State and Local Report Cards; Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as Amended; Non-Regulatory Guidance," issued on February 8, 2013, beginning with State and LEA report cards that include information from the 2017-2018 school year.
