AI Summary
This bill requires school districts, with the assistance of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), to disclose information about standardized student assessments from kindergarten through 12th grade. The bill mandates that school districts notify parents or guardians at the beginning of each school year about various aspects of these assessments, including the subject areas covered, the administration schedule, test duration, online/paper options, graduation requirements, impact on student plans, and the availability of accommodations for students with disabilities and English language learners. The DESE is required to provide districts with updated information and templates to facilitate this notification process, and the department will also offer grants to cover the costs associated with preparing and distributing the information to parents.
