Bill > A00408

This bill requires the administration and instruction in preparation of the TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) examination to be provided in the Chinese and Korean languages for pupils who are proficient in these languages and have limited English proficiency. The bill directs the Commissioner of Education to ensure that school districts make the TASC examination and related instructional materials available in Chinese and Korean, and that any notifications or correspondence about the exam are also provided in those languages. The bill also authorizes the Commissioner to promulgate rules and regulations, including entering into a contract with the American Council on Education to develop the necessary testing materials.
