Act 198 of 2021 enacted R.S. 17:407.23(E) and requires the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to coordinate data relative to the early childhood care and education network in order to evaluate the network. This report will assist legislators in evaluating the effectiveness of the network. As a result of this report, legislators will have the data necessary to prioritize funding and services to ensure children from birth through age five achieve Kindergarten readiness. The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) provides annual reports to the legislature to meet the requirements of this act. Louisiana's Early Childhood Accountability System measures core elements needed for positive child outcomes, provides a clear and focused path to improvement, and gives families an easy way to compare choices in their community. Results are shared through a Performance Profile for each site, published on www.LouisianaSchools.com, that contains two components: a Performance Rating (based on CLASS® observations) and Informational Metrics (based on use of best practices such as high-quality curriculum, assessments, and teacher credentials).
