The one-page rubric is a brief overview of the IPS Implementation Process.
A SUCCESSFUL KANSAS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE has the academic preparation, cognitive preparation, technical skills, employability skills, and civic engagement to be successful in postsecondary education, in the attainment of an industry recognized certification, or in the workforce without the need for remediation.” Adopted by the Kansas State Board of Education, January 2016
In the revised KESA Compliance: 2023/2024 document, each compliance area is explored in greater depth to provide clarity as to what it means to be "Complaint", "Working toward Compliance", and "Not Compliant". The image below describing compliance for Professional Development and Mentoring was used as the model by which all other compliance areas were defined. Some compliance leads also elected to provide a rationale for the area that is evaluated.
While this document is new beginning in 2023/2024, it is important to note that none of the compliance expecations changed for this year. This document simply strives to provide greater depth and clarity around each of the compliance areas that contributes to systems accreditation (KESA).
If you have any questions about the compliance expectations, please contact the lead for the area of concern. If you have general feedback about this document or KESA-related questions, please email accreditation@ksde.org.
To achieve a rating of "accredited," systems must be in good standing with KSDE regarding all applicable state and federal statutory/regulatory requirements. Because the compliance piece is all about statutes and regulations, there is no one document. As long as your system is doing what it usually does to meet requirements, you shouldn’t need to spend a great deal of time on this piece with your leadership team. It is simply a part of KESA so that the State Board can address situations in which a system is not in compliance and is not trying to get back into compliance.
