Bill > S0852

This bill prohibits students in Florida from taking certain local assessments, specifically district-developed, district-selected, or district-mandated assessments, during the two weeks immediately before or after they take a statewide, standardized assessment, which are tests used to measure student achievement across the state. However, students are still permitted to take other important exams within this restricted period, including college entrance exams like the SAT or ACT, Advanced Placement (AP) exams, International Baccalaureate (IB) exams, Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) exams, or industry-approved examinations that lead to national industry certifications listed by the state, and they can also retake a statewide, standardized assessment if necessary.
