HB 1410: H.S. science assessments

Regarding science end-of-course assessments.

Summary

  • Requires that students beginning with the graduating class of 2015, rather than 2013, must meet the state standard in science to earn a Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA), which is required for graduation.
  • Provides that the high school science assessment beginning in 2011-12 is a Biology end-of-course (EOC) assessment and authorizes the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) to develop additional science EOCs for graduation when directed by the Legislature.
  • Authorizes the SPI to participate in the development of multi-state science standards and assessments and to adapt the high school science assessment accordingly, subject to review by the legislative education committees.
