Bill Summary
Report of the Special Senate Sub-committee to the Joint Committee on Education (pursuant to an order adopted by the Senate) submitting its report entitled: Rethinking School Accountability, Opportunities for Massachusetts Under the Every Student Succeeds Act
AI Summary
This bill provides an opportunity for Massachusetts to rethink its school accountability system under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). It highlights the need for broader measures of student learning and school quality beyond standardized test scores, such as performance assessments, school climate surveys, and competency-based progression. The bill also calls for reducing disruptive interventions in "underperforming" schools and restoring local control, while emphasizing the importance of adequate and equitable funding to support school improvement efforts. The legislature is encouraged to support the development of innovative assessment models, repeal certain provisions of the Achievement Gap Act, and ensure that schools identified for support receive the necessary resources.
