Bill > SB00780

This bill requires the Connecticut Department of Education to create and implement exit exams for each grade level, with students needing to achieve a passing score on these exams in order to be promoted to the next grade. The bill aims to ensure that students demonstrate sufficient academic proficiency before advancing to the next academic year, effectively using standardized testing as a mechanism for grade progression. By mandating exit exams, the legislation seeks to establish a more rigorous standard for student advancement, potentially helping to identify and address learning gaps before students move forward in their educational journey. The proposed requirement would apply across all grade levels, creating a consistent framework for academic progression throughout a student's public school education.
