SPP Suspended Grades 3-8 Today Gov. Tom Wolf and Education Secretary Pedro Rivera announced that the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) has approved Pennsylvania's Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) waiver which allows for a one-year pause in the use of the state's School Performance Profile (SPP). The waiver in using the 2015 PSSA scores to calculate SPP and teacher effectiveness ratings was requested due to sweeping changes to the assessment that took effect in the 2014-15 school year.
