ACCREDITATION PROCESS At the request of Montana State Superintendent Elsie Arntzen, the Board of Public Education (BPE) gave its approval for the 2022-2023 Accreditation process: 1. Restart the number of consecutive years for deviations for the assurance standards, such that, each deviation will be consider year 1 on the accreditation status reference criteria guide 2. Continue to use the ARP-ESSER district plan in place of the Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP). Approve the Federal LEA plan required by all public-school districts accepted ARP-ESSER funds as the continuous school improvement plan for the 2022-2023 school year (ARM 10.55.601(3). This will allow school districts to have a single plan to meet the demands of continuous improvement of learning for Montana students while providing relief from multiple plans with the same intended outcome. For public school districts declining these funds and private schools that are accredited, the continuous school improvement plans as outlined in ARM 10.55.601(3), would still be required. 3. Utilize the Student Performance Assessment Results from 2022 for the student performance standards 3rd-8th grade Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates 11th grade ACT Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates 4-year graduation cohort rate from 2022

ARP-ESSER LEA PLAN The ARP ESSER LEA PLAN must be updated within the last 6 months to be used as the replacement for a CSIP plan. If a district's plan is not up-to-date, the district and associated schools will be in deficiency status. Please contact Wendi Fawns at wendi.fawns@mt.gov for ARP ESSER update information.

TEAMS USER ROLES AND SCREENS

SEID CREATION PROCESS All SEID generating is now done through the TeachMT (TMT) application. Superintendents should already have access to do so. If you do not see the administration tab, please let me know and we can make sure you have the correct access. This system is tied to SEID so please sign in on your personal educator's account Clerks/Human Resources Roles will have to be assigned by the superintendent. Make sure they have their accounts first and then you can assign them either the District Finance or HR Role.

TEAMS SCREEN BY SCREEN WALKTHROUGH

SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES Prior-to-Secondary Education Even though the Special Educator is in the TOE, it doesn t mean classes have to be assigned. Most K-8 schools provide supplemental special education services. Do not report Resource/Pull out Special Education classes in the Teacher-Class. The Special Education teacher is not the teacher of record.

SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES Prior-to-Secondary Education Only report self-contained classes (students are in the special education room all day for all classes, and that teacher is the teacher of record). Special Education Course Codes to use oSelf-Contained Classroom (special education) 23040 oAdapted Physical Education 58007 o Make sure to select Special Education as the Academic Level Code.

SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSES Secondary Education If a Special Education teacher is supplanting a student s class, and assigning the grade for the credit, a teacher-class record is needed. The credit follows the teacher. If a Special Education teacher has several students doing different subjects during the same period, one record for each subject with total amount of students (throughout the day) receiving that grade for that subject is required. Do NOT build more than one teacher/class record for one period.
