Bill Summary
For legislation to create a grant program on alternative assessment models. Education.
AI Summary
This bill creates a grant program to support the establishment of district task forces to develop and pilot alternative assessment models for the next three school years. The bill suspends the requirement for students to demonstrate mastery of a common core of skills as measured by the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) or any other named statewide standardized assessment as a condition for high school graduation during this time. It also prohibits the use of student learning measures in educator evaluations. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to create and implement the grant program within 90 days of the bill's passage. The bill also mandates the State Auditor to audit DESE at least once every three years, starting in January 2020, to review contract practices, financial controls, and compliance, particularly regarding contracts with Measured Progress and any subcontractors.
