AI Summary
This bill excludes data generated by state assessments and alternative growth models used by local education agencies (LEAs) in the 2020-2021 school year from certain accountability determinations. It revises tenure eligibility requirements to account for the unavailability of data due to the cancellation of the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) tests as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill also allows LEAs and public charter schools to choose the percentage that TCAP test scores in the 2020-2021 school year count towards a student's final grade, and it prohibits the use of student performance and growth data from the 2020-2021 TCAP tests to identify schools as priority schools or assign them to the Achievement School District, unless a certain participation rate is met.
