Bill Summary
Relating to limiting certain state-required assessment instruments administered to public school students in certain grades to assessments required by federal law.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Education Code to limit certain state-required assessment instruments administered to public school students in certain grades to only those assessments required by federal law. Specifically, the bill removes the requirement for students to be assessed in reading, writing, mathematics, social studies, and science, and instead requires only the assessments required by federal law. The bill also allows the Texas Education Agency to develop an alternative writing assessment method as a pilot program, and exempts participating school districts from the writing assessment requirements during that period.
