On
January 8, 2002, President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)
of 2001 that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
NCLB significantly raises expectations for states, local school districts
and schools in that all students will meet or exceed state standards in
reading and mathematics within twelve years.
NCLB requires all states,
including the State of Georgia, to establish state academic standards and a
state testing system that meet federal requirements. Georgia received final
approval of its
state accountability plan from the US Department of Education on May 19,
2003, and revisions to the plan were approved by the federal government on
June 7, 2004. |

2007-08 Annual Education
Accountability Report Cards |
The Governor's Office of Student Achievement (OSA) was established July 1,
2000 by the state law known as the A Plus Education Reform Act. The mission
of OSA is to provide accountability for all of Georgia's education system
from prekindergarten through postsecondary levels that will result in:
 Improving student achievement and
Improving school completion.
As part of this
mission, OSA presents its sixth annual report on Georgia's public K-12
schools. With the 2004-2005 Report Card, OSA presents the Single Statewide
Accountability System (SSAS) for Georgia's K-12 schools. OSA hopes that the
information contained in this report and future reports will provide
teachers, parents, and students with valuable information regarding schools
and school districts and challenge communities to improve education for all
of Georgia's children.
