Bill > SB068

This bill requires the Colorado Department of Education to administer standardized summative assessments, which are tests measuring a student's accumulated knowledge and skills over a semester or more, to the minimum extent practicable while still effectively assessing academic achievement. To achieve this, the department must apply for a federal waiver from federal assessment requirements, as outlined in Title 20 of the U.S. Code, if necessary, within ninety days of the bill's effective date. This waiver application can propose various strategies such as a shortened assessment, a sampling model, or a matrix sampling model to reduce the extent of testing.
