John M. Abeigon's speech at NPS Advisory Board meeting, April 26, 2016.

Possible Issues with SY 14/15 mSGP Scoring.

Given the requirements of AcheiveNJ, districts may find that some educators should have received mSGP scores but didn’t, while others who were not expected to receive them did. In addition, some of the mSGP scores received may be incorrect due to errors in district data submission. Each of these cases is addressed in this attachment.
