NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND/SCHOOL PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT (NCLB/SPAR)

The No Child Left Behind federal legislation and Florida statute require that schools provide parents an annual school status report at the beginning of each school year. The Florida Department of Education has produced a No Child Left Behind/School Public Accountability Report for each school containing all the required No Child Left Behind indicators, including the indicators for Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs). The Florida Department of Education has recently posted the NCLB/SPARs online. A link to the report is available on our District’s School Improvement website at: http://www.broward.k12.fl.us/schoolimprove.
