CCMR Tracker Release: Stage 2B Now Available (August 4, 2023)
The College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Tracker Stage 2B was released within the TEAL Accountability application on August 4.  The CCMR Tracker is updated with industry-based certifications (IBCs) attained, IBC status, and a flag for students who meet CCMR via a sunsetting IBC only.  A guide to the new features is included within the TEAL Accountability application. 

The CCMR Tracker is a tracking tool which provides districts with an early preview of CCMR status for students who are in grades 9–12 during the 2022–23 school year. The CCMR Tracker contains lagging data. While the Tracker contains students who were in grades 9–12 on the 2022–23 PEIMS snapshot, the 2023 version does not contain results from school year 2022–23 as those data have yet to be reported. 
 
Sunsetting IBCs 
Beginning with 2023 ratings, a campus may not earn CCMR credit for more than five graduates, or 20 percent of graduates, whichever is higher, who only meet CCMR criteria via a sunsetting IBC. This limit is applied within the Student Achievement and School Progress, Part B: Relative Performance domains. For more information on Sunsetting IBCs for Accountability see the IBC webpage and Chapter 2 of the 2023 Accountability Manual. 
 
CCMR Preliminary Student Listing (July 31, 2023)  
The Preliminary 2023 CCMR Student Listing was released within the TEAL Accountability application on July 31. This data download contains non-AEA 2023 CCMR data for 2021–22 annual graduates and 2021–22 non-graduating 12th graders, including applicable corrections submitted and approved through the 2023 CCMR Verifier. This data will be used to calculate the CCMR Readiness components for 2023 accountability ratings.  See the Recent Communications on our Performance Reporting Resources page for more details.
