New to school accountability or need a refresher? Would you like to learn more about navigating, interpreting, and using school accountability reports and data? The Michigan Department of Education Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability (OEAA) Accountability Team is holding FREE, in-person and virtual interactive learning sessions.
