Third Grade Reading Guarantee Promotion Score to Rise for 2016-2017 The State Board of Education voted on October 18 to set the Third Grade Reading Guarantee promotion score for the 2016-2017 school year. The grade 3 reading subscore will be used for the purpose of the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. For the 2016-2017 school year, the Third Grade Reading Guarantee promotion cut score is 44, an increase of 2 points. Any student who scores 44 or higher on the reading subscore will be eligible for promotion at the end of the year. Comparable promotion scores on the four approved alternative reading assessments will be posted as they become available. Deadline for Submitting the District’s Foster Care Point of Contact Almost all of the provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) will not take effect until the 2017-2018 school year. However, the foster care provisions are to be implemented by December 10, 2016. However, there is an even earlier deadline that requires that each district identify a foster point of contact by November 10. The Ohio Department of Education will be collecting the name and contact information of each district’s foster point of contact. You can enter this information into the Ohio Educational Directory System (OEDS). You are also reminded that, if the children services agency serving your district names a foster point of contact, you are required also to share the name and contact information of your point of contact with that agency.
