Year-end sign off and accountability permissions
Every year, districts receive communication from the South Dakota Department of Education regarding the Year End Sign Off document. This signoff document is to ensure that all school districts have completed the necessary end-of-year tasks so that calculations used for the Accountability Report Card, federal reporting, and more can be determined and reported in an accurate and timely manner.
One of the tasks in the Year End Sign Off document is for STARS Account Managers. It asks SAMs to make sure that all district staff who are part of the district’s Accountability Team have access to the report card. This means that SAMs have assigned the accountability permissions to these district staff. The attached document includes step-by-step instructions on assigning permissions for staff to see the report card. This document is also available in the SD-STARS Content Library and Training Center.
