AI Summary
This bill requires the New Mexico Public Education Department to annually publish detailed summative assessment results for science, mathematics, and English language arts by September 1st of each year. A "summative assessment" is defined as a department-approved test that measures student performance at the end of a specific grade band. The publication must include statewide performance trends across all grade levels and comprehensive subgroup performance data that is disaggregated by various student demographics, including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and special education status. The results must be published in an easily accessible, user-friendly format on a website managed by the department, with direct links from the department's primary website homepage. This transparency measure aims to provide a clear, comprehensive view of student academic performance across different groups and subjects. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving the department time to prepare for the new reporting requirements.
