Bill > SB912

This bill modifies the statewide student growth assessment program in West Virginia for students in grades three through eight by requiring a more structured approach to student performance tracking. Specifically, the bill mandates that the assessment program include benchmark assessments given in the first 30 days of the school year, repeated at mid-year, and a summative assessment at the end of the school year to determine student progression in reading and mathematics. The assessments are designed to align with academic standards and help evaluate students' progress toward college and career readiness. The bill aims to ensure that no single summative assessment takes more than two percent of a student's instructional time and prohibits collecting personal data beyond what is necessary for academic instruction. The comprehensive assessment program is intended to provide educators, administrators, and policymakers with a clear picture of student performance, allowing for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes across the state.
