Bill > S06777

This bill amends the New York education law to remove time limitations for standardized tests in large city school districts, specifically those with a population of one million or more (which would apply to New York City). The legislation prevents any restrictions on time limits for state assessments, state-created tests, tests created by the city district, or other standardized examinations when these tests are administered to students within the city district. By eliminating time constraints, the bill aims to provide students with more flexible testing conditions, potentially allowing them additional time to complete standardized tests without being rushed. This change could impact test performance by reducing time-related stress and giving students who may need more time the opportunity to fully demonstrate their knowledge and skills. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, meaning school districts could implement these new testing guidelines right away.
