HB 2343: High school assessements

Revising the high school assessment system and graduation requirements.

Summary

  • Beginning with the class of 2008, allows students who meet the standard on the high school Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) to earn a Certificate of Achievement (CAA) and note it on their transcript, but does not require a CAA for graduation.
  • Allows students who do not earn a CAA or Certification of Individual Achievement (CIA) to graduate if they complete courses and competencies that are specified in a student learning plan and intended to increase proficiency in the areas where they did not meet the standard, and if they retake the WASL annually.
