• ​2021 Official Summative Designation
• No summative designations were calculated in 2021.​
  
• 2021 Waiver of Accountability
  On February 22, 2021, ED communicated its intent to make waivers available for accountability but not for assessments despite the continued impact of COVID-19 on education this year and calls from multiple states (including Illinois) to fully waive assessment and accountability requirements. The accountability waiver request template published by​ ED allows states to waive two sets of requirements -- accountability calculations and the reporting of those calculations. ISBE submitted it's waiver request on April 1, 2021, and the request was approved by ED on April 6, 2021.
  • Illinois is not required to:
    
  • Issue annual summative designations using 2021 data.​
    
  • Factor the 95% participation requirement into academic achievement calculations.
  • Measure progress toward long-term goals and interim targets using 2021 data.
    
  • Illinois must still:
  • Report the list of schools identified for support in 2021.
  • Report on chronic absenteeism.
  • Maintain the identification status of previously identified schools for 2021-22.
  • Require previously identified schools implement their support and improvement plans and receive appropriate supports and interventions.​​

In 2020 the US Department of Education approved assessment and accountability waivers for all 50 states.

• Illinois' Statewide Assessment and Accountability Waiver
  

In 2020, all schools were re-issued their 2019 annual summative designation. Please see the 2019 Illinois Official Summative Designations for details.​​​
