Performance Level Cut Score Implementation
From September 29 - October 14, 2025, the Department facilitated 13 listening sessions with almost 400 participants including school board members, superintendents, principals, and central office staff representing all 8 superintendent regions. The Department continues to gather feedback from stakeholders to support a thoughtful and well-informed process that supports students and educators in meeting higher expectations. We encourage you to share additional opportunities for your educators and families to learn more about revisions to cut scores and to provide input on the implementation plan.
