Revisions to KESA 2.0 resources
The KSDE accreditation and design team has recently finalized KESA school improvement resources to assist and guide each system in preparing for their 2025-26 School Improvement Day. A major focus of KESA during the 2026-27 school year will be the implementation of the KESA action plan, which each system developed during the 2024-2025 school year.
As the school year begins, the KSDE Accreditation and Design team invites district/system staff to the upcoming Kansas Education Systems Accreditation (KESA) information sessions.
If you are new to Kansas, new to your position, or couldn’t make one of the KESA Information sessions this past spring, these sessions are made for you. Here are the topics for each of these sessions
