NCLB <strong>School</strong> Public<br />
Accountability Reports<br />
(SPARs)<br />
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation<br />
requires that school districts provide parents<br />
with an annual school status report at the<br />
beginning of each school year. These<br />
reports are known as the NCLB <strong>School</strong><br />
Public Accountability Reports (SPARs).<br />
The Department of Education will post all<br />
reports containing the required NCLB<br />
indicators and the Adequate Yearly Progress<br />
(AYP) addendum report on the Web before<br />
the end of September 2011. Once the<br />
Department of Education has posted the<br />
reports, <strong>Osceola</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> staff will<br />
provide parents and the community with the<br />
necessary information to view or obtain the<br />
reports for <strong>Osceola</strong> <strong>County</strong> schools.<br />

Virtual<br />
Backpack<br />
The <strong>Osceola</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> has launched a<br />
“green” approach to distributing information to<br />
students from non-profit organizations,<br />
intergovernmental agencies, and business<br />
partners for which it grants approval. Rather than<br />
sending home approved flyers for entities outside<br />
the school district as in the past, we will now be<br />
posting such information on a Virtual Backpack<br />
webpage throughout the school year for all to see.<br />
By doing so, it collectively saves school staff<br />
thousands of hours of sorting and handling these<br />
flyers, as well as reduces the amount of paper<br />
being distributed saving our natural resources.<br />
For a list of current flyers, go to<br />
www.osceola.k12.fl.us, click on<br />
Virtual Backpack Electronic Flyers,<br />
then Flyer Listings.<br />
The school district and its schools<br />
will continue to send home information for parents<br />
and students in students’ backpacks.<br />
Teachers will send home assignments and<br />
materials as normal, so be sure to continue to<br />
check your child’s backpack frequently for<br />
school and classroom news and<br />
homework/grading.<br />
