Bill Summary
Board of Education; through-year growth assessment system; alternatives during 2024-2028 school years permitted. Extends from the 2025-2026 school year to the 2027-2028 school year the period during which, pursuant to applicable law, the Board of Education is required to permit school boards to administer assessments as alternatives to the through-year growth assessment system established by the Board of Education. Under current law, the Board of Education is required to permit school boards to administer such assessments during the 2024-2025 through 2026-2027 school years.
AI Summary
This bill extends the period during which school boards are permitted to use alternative assessments instead of the Board of Education's through-year growth assessment system for reading and mathematics in grades three through eight. Originally set to end after the 2026-2027 school year, this bill allows these alternatives to be used through the 2027-2028 school year, providing flexibility for school divisions in how they assess student progress. The through-year growth assessment system, designed to measure individual student growth over the school year with multiple assessments, is a key component of the state's accreditation and accountability measures.
