About a thousand school administrators from across Nebraska are hearing about new state accountability measures during a conference in Kearney.
Nebraska Education Commissioner, Matt Blomstedt says there might be a new measuring stick, but the object remains the same.

The new accountability system is named “AQuESTT” , the first-ever classification system for public schools which begins this school year.

Blomstedt says the system isn’t there to judge schools, but to help them.

Blomstedt says the focus on assessment has been strong across the country.
