The annual District Assessment Inventory Survey is now available. Legislation requires each school district to report information to ISBE concerning the administration of standardized assessments, as defined by Illinois School Code 105 ILCS 5/22-82, to students at each school. Please note that it is not necessary to provide information on locally developed assessments. The law requires schools to make this information public via the school district's website or distribution in paper form. Districts can comply with this requirement by linking to the assessment survey results. This will also allow districts to track their completion rate. The survey will dynamically populate data submitted in the previous year for review and editing as needed.

We appreciate your assistance with completing the form before Thursday, November 20, at 5 p.m.

Please click here for a How-to-Guide on completing the survey.
