AI Summary
This bill amends the School Code to prohibit the State Board of Education from developing, purchasing, or requiring school districts to administer, develop, or purchase standardized assessments for students in prekindergarten through 12th grade, except for diagnostic purposes. A "standardized assessment" is defined as a test where all students answer the same or similar questions in the same way. The bill also prevents the State Board of Education from funding any such standardized assessments for these grade levels, again with the exception of diagnostic uses. Additionally, the bill makes related changes to existing laws and takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
