HB 2327: Math & science instruction

Regarding a system of standards, instruction, and assessments for mathematics and science.

Summary

  • Allows students in the classes of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 to graduate under certain conditions without a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA) as a result of not passing the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) in mathematics.
  • Delays the requirement that students must pass the science WASL to 2014.
  • Directs the State Board of Education to adopt end-of-course assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, and Biology, which become the new high school WASL for mathematics and science.
  • Establishes the classes of students who will be the first classes required to pass the new assessments for graduation purposes: class of 2013 for Algebra I; class of 2014 for both Algebra I and Geometry; and class of 2014 for Biology.
  • Requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to provide funds for school districts to administer diagnostic assessments.
