Bill Summary
Standards of Quality; state accountability; Standards of Learning assessment expedited retake scores. Directs the Board of Education, in its calculation of the passage rate for a Standards of Learning assessment or the level of achievement of the Standards of Learning objectives for an individual student growth assessment for the purposes of state accountability ratings, to include for any student who retakes an assessment on an expedited basis and receives a passing score, the passing score received on the expedited retake and to exclude the score received on the assessment taken during the regular assessment administration period.
AI Summary
This bill modifies how student performance on Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments is calculated for state accountability and school accreditation ratings. Specifically, for any student who retakes an SOL assessment on an expedited basis and achieves a passing score, the passing score from that retake will be used in the calculation, and the score from the original assessment taken during the regular administration period will be excluded. This change aims to provide a more accurate reflection of student growth and achievement by prioritizing improved scores from quicker retakes.
