AI Summary
This bill amends the School Code to require the State Board of Education (ISBE) to provide comprehensive annual reporting on assessment contracts, starting July 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill mandates that ISBE report details for each assessment contract, including the contract's start and end dates, renewal options, yearly costs, and communications about contract renewals. The board must then compile this information and make it publicly accessible through its website. Additionally, the bill requires ISBE to engage with various stakeholder groups—such as the Balanced Accountability Measure Committee and Technical Advisory Committee—to improve transparency around educational assessments. The legislation also grants ISBE the authority to adopt rules necessary to implement these new reporting requirements. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, aiming to increase public understanding and accountability in the state's educational assessment processes.
