Bill > SB458

This bill mandates that the state's assessments, which are tests given to students to measure their academic performance in core subjects like math, science, reading, writing, and social studies, must use the same performance levels and cut scores that were established in 2024. Performance levels indicate how well students are meeting academic standards, and cut scores are the minimum scores needed to achieve a certain performance level. This change is being made to existing law, specifically K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 72-5170, and the previous version of this law is being repealed. The purpose of this bill is to ensure consistency in how student achievement is measured on state assessments by anchoring them to the 2024 standards.
