The Accreditation and Design (AD) team began meeting individually with systems in mid-January for what is called a “KESA Check-in." This is one of the new supports the team is implementing as part of KESA 2.0, which officially begins in the 2024-2025 school year. 

The purpose of the KESA Check-ins is to discuss the system’s current state of student data, as well as set the table for KESA 2.0 so each system has a clear understanding of what accreditation will be based on, the expectations for each system and the KESA 2.0 Yearly Support model that begins next year.

The team is collecting feedback from each system right after the Check-in to align and personalize support of each system’s improvement efforts, as well as improve the Check-ins moving forward. The team is tracking the data from systems to all prompts, especially the following:

1. This meeting was a productive use of our time.
   1. 97% responded with either “agree” or “strongly agree.”
2. To what extent did the Check-in support your feeling of readiness for KESA 2.0 in 2024-2025?
   1. 95.25% responded with “somewhat” or “to a great extent.

The data is displayed on a scoreboard in the A&D department in the Landon State Office Building and is updated weekly with results.
