Description
School accountability; Standards of Learning assessments. Requires the number and type of assessments to meet but not exceed the minimal requirements established by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended, except that the Board of Education is permitted to administer additional assessments in science and social sciences in grades five and eight. The bill limits programs of prevention, intervention, or remediation for students who are educationally at risk to students in grades five and eight. Under current law, such programs are required for students in grades three through eight. The bill permits the administration of norm-referenced assessments to assess student performance and student progress, including students who receive home instruction. The bill also requires local school boards to implement pathways to industry certification that students may use to fulfill standard diploma requirements and school boards shall use for school accountability purposes.
