HB 1646: WASL/math and science

Making adjustments pertaining to the high school Washington assessment of student learning in mathematics and science.

Summary

  • Authorizes the State Board of Education to implement the requirement for students to meet the state standard on the high school Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) in mathematics and science after the currently required class of 2013, based on a determination that additional time is needed and primarily due to examination of the reliability and validity of the mathematics and science assessments for purposes of graduation.
  • Directs the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop an implementation plan to assure students have the opportunity to learn the new mathematics and science standards, and to recommend by December 1, 2009, whether the high school science WASL should be an end-of-course assessment.
  • Eliminates the Integrated Mathematics I and II end-of course assessment series as an option for students to meet the state standard on the high school mathematics WASL, and establishes end-of-course assessments as the sole option for meeting state standards in math beginning with the class of 2015.
