Accountability Redesign Initiative
Dear Parents and Community Members,
Through the Accountability Redesign Initiative, the District is developing a new system to determine school quality. To create an equitable system, CPS needs to hear from you.
Join the conversation using the CPS Engagement website. You can provide feedback, share your ideas, and participate in surveys. To make sure you stay up-to-date, click the blue “Register” button on the CPS Engagement homepage.
If you have questions about the Accountability Redesign Initiative or how CPS measures school performance, please email SQRP@cps.edu.
