Bill > HB3055

This bill modifies Oregon's requirements for school districts to receive state funding under the High School Graduation and College and Career Readiness Act by adding two new provisions to the existing law. First, the bill requires school districts to comply with specific participation requirements for statewide summative assessments in mathematics and language arts for students in grades 9-12, ensuring that districts meet the percentage requirements for all students and identified student subgroups as defined in federal law (20 U.S.C. 6311). Second, the bill mandates that districts demonstrate improved student academic achievement on these statewide assessments by comparing average test scores to both the previous school year and the 2018-2019 school year. The changes will become operative on July 1, 2026, and will apply to state distributions starting in the 2026-2027 school year. Additionally, the bill repeals ORS 329.482, though the specific implications of this repeal are not detailed in the provided text. The overall goal appears to be enhancing accountability and performance measurement for school districts by linking state funding to student assessment participation and academic progress.
