AI Summary
This bill amends existing state law to support the local determination of educational competency and the use of multiple forms of academic assessment. It removes the requirement that a single assessment or test be used as a condition for high school graduation, and instead allows local school districts to determine the assessment instruments to be used. The bill also clarifies that students with special needs, those in vocational education programs, and those with limited English proficiency should be included in assessments, recognizing the potential challenges in assessing their performance.
