The school and district report
cards each have several categories, including one labeled "Local Information"
with space for districts to add local details. The school report card includes a mailer
panel. The district report card does not. This allows districts to fold them together with
the school report card on the outside, ready for mailing. Some districts are producing
their own wrap-around to enclose both pieces. See OSBA's Report
Card Toolkit for a sample wrap-around.
Here’s
the breakdown of categories for each report card:
