School accountability agency to release state report cards

By
ATLANTA - Gov. Roy Barnes&#39; school accountability agency is scheduled to release its most extensive education report cards Monday. <br> <br> The K-12 report breaks down test scores demographically, for instance, by race, English proficiency, or whether students are disabled. <br> <br> Data on pre-kindergarten, technical school, university and teacher-certification programs were posted on the Web site of the Office of Education Accountability last week. <br> <br> The online report cards, which came out of Barnes&#39; 2000 education reform law, details how schools performed on tests but if continued will be expanded to include other data. However, this may be the state&#39;s last report card because the agency may be out of business. <br> <br> Gov.-elect Sonny Perdue has said he wants to reduce bureaucracy in the state education system if elected. Perdue beat Barnes in the November 5th elections. <br> <br> ``I&#39;ve gotten no indication (Perdue) wants to move away from accountability reporting,&#39;&#39; said Davis Nelson, director of the Office of Education Accountability. <br>
